A thread gauge is a tool used for identifying the particular thread on a bolt or screw. The gauge will have several blades with saw like teeth of different sizes. You match a particular gauge to the thread which will then tell you what size thread it is. gauges come in various pitches to match different screw threads. UNF, UNC, Whitworth, Metric etc. Each has a different pitch angle and thread per inch or millimetre.

The thickness of 24 gauge steel is 0.0250 inches or 0.635 mm (USG).
4mm sheet metal falls 24 gauge and 25 gauge. 24 gauge sheet metal is 3.175mm (0.125") thick, and 25 gauge sheet metal is 6.35 (0.25") mm thick.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
The gauge of steel used for oil or gas pipelines typically ranges from 16 to 24 gauge, depending on the pipeline's size and pressure requirements. However, for larger pipelines, it's more common to use thicker steel, often measured in inches instead of gauge, with wall thicknesses commonly ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 inches. The specific gauge or thickness is determined by factors such as the pipeline's operating pressure, the type of fluid being transported, and environmental considerations.
I have always known it as 3 pair as it has 3 pairs of 3 colours. (blue, green and orange)
S.A.E - Standard American Engineers. Now it is called as UNF i.e. Unified Fine threads.UNF (Unified Fine Thread)Standardised in 1918Angle of Thread 60o DegreesUnified Fine (UNF) and Unified Coarse (UNC).American threads consist of two common and easily obtained thread patterns known as U. N.F and U.N.C. U.N.F [national fine] is exactly the same as the old S.A.E [standard American engineers] that existed before threads were unified.U.N.C [national coarse] roughly derived from the British Whitworth have the same pitches except 1/2 in dia where Whitworth is 12tpi and U.N.C is 13 tpi.Both these threads are 60 degree angleEarly Harley and Indian motorcycles used 24tpi threads on most diameters5/16 and 3/8 UNF are both 24tpi but 1/4 UNF is 28 tpi and a special 1/4 x 24 thread must be used.7/32 x 24 UNC is an obsolete thread. In the late 1960's, when even the U.S. was thinking of going metric, the giant BSA corporation decided it was finally time to scrap the 19th Century Whitworth-based system, and switch to American. Since they had lots of money invested in tooling, the switch wasn't made suddenly (or completely), so bikes and cars from the late '60's and later had a mix of all sorts of thread forms. Typically, engine internals (e.g. the thread on the end of a camshaft) stayed with whatever form it used to have, while simple fasteners (e.g. holding the mud guards on) switched to UNF.

Smaller number is thicker metal.
To distinguish between a 24-410 and a 24-415 bottle neck finish, you can measure the thread pitch. The 24-410 finish has a finer thread pitch, meaning the threads are closer together, while the 24-415 has a coarser thread pitch with threads that are more widely spaced. Additionally, you can check the height of the finish; the 24-415 is typically slightly taller than the 24-410. If you have a compatible closure, you can also test it for fit, as the two finishes will not interchange.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
