In Imperial standard (swg), 16 g is 0.064" (1.63mm) thick.
16 gauge
That would be 16 gauge, which is .0625 inches thick.
16 swg is 1.63 mm thick
.0625 inches or 1.59 mm
No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.
GAUGE , is one inch thick of steel or metal. So, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 12 equal thickness sheets , you get a 12 gauge steel sheet. Similarly, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 14 equal thickness sheets , you get a 14 gauge steel sheet. and so on . So, a 12 gauge steel sheet is thicker than 14 gauge , 14 is thicker than 16 , 16 is thicker than 18 and so on. Wrong!!! See my discussion on this...
The thickness of 16 gauge steel in US standards is .0625 inches or 1.59 mm and according to UK standards is .065 inches or 1.651 mm.
