Guage vs actual measurements - LOST

[Junk]

Guys, I'm totally lost. (nothing new there :p )

Is there a guide anywhere that shows guage thickness vs inch or mm thickness? I just get too darn confused when folks say 20 guage or 16 guage cause I have no idea what that means related to inches etc.

Thanks:alien:
