When it comes to the measurement gauge, the smaller the number the thicker or heavier the material.
For instance:
- 10 gauge steel is thicker than 18 gauge steel.
- A 5 gauge needle is much larger than a 10 gauge needle.
- A 12 gauge shotgun is larger than a 20 gauge.

Which is thicker 12 gauge or 20 gauge?
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.
Is 16 gauge pipe thicker than 20 gauge?
yes
What is the difference between a 17 gauge and 20 gauge brass bath waste drain?
The metal of the 17 gauge waste drain is thicker than the 20 gauge.
How thick is a pool liner?
It depends on the pool, but it appears that on average they run around 20 Gauge, or the slightly thicker 20 Mil. Both of these are roughly .5 mm or .02 inch. 25 Mil/Gauge is thicker, and usually carry a better warranty.
What is more powerful 20 gauge or 16 gauge shotgun?
20
What is the difference between 18 gauge sheet steel and 20 gauge sheet steel?
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
Which is thicker 20 gauge or 22 gauge steel?
20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
Which is thicker 12 gauge or 20 gauge?
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.
What is larger 12 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?
12 Gauge is thicker then the 20 gauge.
What size tank on a cad eldroda 18 0r 20?
18
Is 16 gauge pipe thicker than 20 gauge?
yes
Is 24 gauge steel thicker than 20 gauge?
Nope. It's the other way around. (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
What is the percentage thickness of 20 gauge steel to 18 gauge?
20 gauge steel is about 75% the thickness of 18 gauge steel.
Is 20 gauge iron wire thicker than 21 gauge?
No, the higher gauge means a thinner wire.
What is the difference between a 17 gauge and 20 gauge brass bath waste drain?
The metal of the 17 gauge waste drain is thicker than the 20 gauge.
What is thicker 18 or 20 mils?
REALLY? What's bigger, 18 or 20?
Is 18 gauge steel shelving heavry than 20 gauge steel shelving?
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.
