The actual thickness associated with a "gauge range" varies largely by industry. Gauges are OK for ball-parking, but are not adequate for engineering purposes. Producing mills and reputable service centers work from actual measurements or minimum thicknesses.

The strength, durability, and longevity of steel caskets depends first of all on the quality and thickness of the metal sheets used. The United States Standard Gauge for the thickness of metal sheets is based on the number of sheets required to total one inch. The gauge number (ga) informs about the thickness of the steel sheets in such a way that the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. (20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch.) Twenty gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 1/20" or 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. More expensive steel Caskets are made from 18- and 16-gauge steel. 16 ga steel sheets have a thickness of 1/16" or 1,3 mm. 16 ga steel is twice as heavy as 20 ga steel, 140% stronger and has a 140% longer life than 20ga.
If it is steel, the thickness is 0.0359 ins (35.9 thou), or 0.9119 mm. See Wikipedia 'Sheet Metal Gauge' for a full table of thicknesses
When referring to steel, the higher the gauge a steel is the thinner it will be. So 20 gauge steel is thinner than 18 gauge steel, which would suggest 18 gauge shelving is heavier than 20 gauge.The maximum gauge is 30.
19 gauge steel is 1.11 mm thick and 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.

Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. This means that 20 sheets of 20 ga steel have a thickness of one inch. Twenty-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. Standard steel caskets use 18 ga steel sheets which have a thickness of 1 mm. Upper end steel caskets use 16 ga steel sheets with a thickness of 1,3 mm. 16 sheets of 16 ga steel have a thickness of one inch.
The main types of metal caskets include steel caskets, stainless steel caskets, and copper caskets. Steel caskets are the most common and come in various gauges of thickness. Stainless steel caskets provide greater durability and corrosion resistance. Copper caskets are known for their beauty and natural antimicrobial properties.
Probably not, but it depends on the circumstances. Generally speaking, one can say that twenty-gauge steel sheets (meaning that 20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch) have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobiles.18 ga steel sheets, on the other hand, have a thickness of 1 mm. 18 ga steel is 33% heavier, 60% stronger and has a 60% longer life than 20ga steel.
If it is steel, the thickness is 0.0359 ins (35.9 thou), or 0.9119 mm. See Wikipedia 'Sheet Metal Gauge' for a full table of thicknesses
Both 31 and 32 gauge are close:31 gauge = 0.0105"32 gauge = 0.0097"
It depends on whether you are referring to sheet metal, wire or a shotgun. For sheet metal, 20 gauge is a thickness of 0.0359 inches (steel), 0.0396 inches (galvanized steel) or 0.0320 (aluminum). In American Wire Gauge (AWG), a 20 gauge wire is 0.032 inches (0.813mm) in diameter. A 20-gauge shotgun is a caliber of 0.615 inches (15.621mm).

20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).

Marking on jewelry, watch cases, or pens. Plaque is plating, lamine is mechanically applied, such as American "Gold Filled" and 20 microns is thickness of precious metal, fondacier inox means base metal is stainless steel. For example, plaque OR G 20 fondacier inox would mean a 20 micron plating of gold (French word is OR) on stainless steel.
