To find the thickness in inches of galvanized steel, add 0.0010 inches on to the theoretical decimal thickness you solved for. For example, you found your gauge decimal thickness to be 0.1644. Adding 0.0010 inches to 0.1644 gives you 0.1654 as a gauge decimal (inches) for the thickness of your galvanized steel sheet.
Keeping this in consideration, what gauge is 1/16 of an inch?

Accordingly, what is bigger 16 gauge or 18 gauge?
Gauge is the standard unit of measure for sheet steel and wire products. The lower the number, the thicker the steel. Therefore, 16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge steel. … The thinner steel will be louder and higher pitched, whereas the 16 gauge will be a lower pitch and substantially quieter when struck.
What thickness is 16 gauge?
