The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
The sheet metal does however have a tolerance on the rolling thickness which needs to be taken into account when designing a tight fitting assembly especially as the sheet metal material gets thicker.
The chart below can be used to determine the equivalent sheet thickness in inches or millimeters for a gauge number from the selected gauge size standard.
Lastly a standard exists for zinc in which a higher gauge number indicates a thicker sheet.
The thickness of foil is usually up to 0 2 mm.
