When it comes to the measurement gauge, the smaller the number the thicker or heavier the material.
For instance:
20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
Auto sheet metal is commonly manufactured in gauges ranging from 18 to 22, with 18 gauge being thicker and 22 gauge being thinner. The most commonly used gauge for auto body panels is 20 gauge.
18
yes
The metal of the 17 gauge waste drain is thicker than the 20 gauge.
16 gauge vinyl is thicker than 20 gauge vinyl. In the context of inflatable boats, a thicker material generally provides greater durability and resistance to punctures and abrasion. Therefore, 16 gauge vinyl would typically be the better choice for enhanced strength and longevity in inflatable applications.
REALLY? What's bigger, 18 or 20?
No, the higher gauge means a thinner wire.
18 or 20 gauge
No, a 20 gauge wire is thicker than 1mm in diameter. It would not fit through a 1mm hole.
