5 64 thick so remember when you re comparing safes the smaller the steel.
10 gauge vs 7 gauge steel.
9 64 thick 12 gauge steel.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
11 64 thick 9 gauge steel.
For example a 12 gauge sheet is 2 732.
7 gauge is the lower the number the thicker the gauge.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Gauge size chart for sheet metal.

So 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge the thicker the wire.

7 64 thick 14 gauge steel.
3 16 thick 8 gauge steel.
7 gauge steel sheet is 1793 not 1875 different metals have different thickness for their gauge mild steel is 1793 aluminum is 1443 stainless steel is 1875 8 9 10 0 0.
1 for sheet metal a retrogressive scale higher numbers mean lower thickness that starts with 10 gauge representing a thickness of 3 416 millimeters or 0 1345 inches.
