A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal.
The story of gauge.
In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
