The thickness of sheet metals is specified by gauge.
Gauge or gage sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece of sheet metal with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet.
These dimensions vary slightly between different materials such as stainless steel and aluminium but should be accurate enough for most everyday purposes.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.
