2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   Manufacturers of wire formerly had proprietary wire gauge systems; the development of standardized wire gauges rationalized selection of wire for a particular purpose. While the AWG is essentially identical to the Brown & Sharpe (B&S) sheet metal gauge, the B&S gauge was designed for use with sheet metals as its name suggests.

   Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is stated to be of, say, No. 10, 11, 12, etc., of the wire gauge. The circular forms of wire gauge measurement devices are the most popular, and are generally 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (95 mm) in diameter, with thirty-six notches; many have the decimal ...

   Smaller gauge numbers indicate larger outer diameters. [4] Inner diameter depends on both gauge and wall thickness. The following chart shows nominal inner diameter and wall thickness for regular-wall needles. [4] [5] Thin-wall needles (not shown) have identical outer diameters but larger inner diameters for a given gauge.

   A table of the gauge numbers and wire diameters is shown below. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The basis of the system is the thou (or mil in US English), or 0.001 in . Sizes are specified as wire diameters, stated in thou and tenths of a thou (mils and tenths).
