The story of gauge.
A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
