GAUGE , is one inch thick of steel or metal. So, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 12 equal thickness sheets , you get a 12 gauge steel sheet. Similarly, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 14 equal thickness sheets , you get a 14 gauge steel sheet. and so on . So, a 12 gauge steel sheet is thicker than 14 gauge , 14 is thicker than 16 , 16 is thicker than 18 and so on. Wrong!!! See my discussion on this...
If you're referring to 14 gauge steel wire, about 60-65 pounds safely, but remember, supported weight depends not only on the wire, but the screws and nails that are attached to the object and the wall or ceiling. (Not to mention the material of the wall or ceiling. Drywall will hold much less than hardwood, so use a stud finder if possible to drill/nail into the wall or ceiling for added support) When in doubt, always use stronger, thicker materials than you think you'll need.
14 gauge
14 gauge is 0.0641 inches or 1.63mm in diameter.
It is quite possible that this question "Gauge 0 wire?" was actually meant to be an Answer rather than an Alternate-Wording-To the original question, from which "Gauge 0 wire?" was split away: "What wire gauge is used for an electric range?".If that is so, then a comment to the suggestion that Gauge 0 wire might be suitable, is that insulated Guage 0 wire is very thick indeed and would not often have to be used in wiring for normal domestic use in homes. Even for high-powered appliances, such as 240 Volt kitchen ranges or clothing dryers, Guage 6 wire would usually be thick enough to be used safely for the kinds of lengths of runs needed in normal size houses.What exactly is being asked by this question "Gauge 0 wire"?Is it about some mechanical work? (Making a cage for an animal?)Or what diameter Gauge 0 wire is?Or of what kind of material Gauge 0 wire usually comes in?Or is it asking if Gauge 0 wire is the right size to use in some electrical work?(Like how many Amps can it carry safely without overheating?)One factor to decide the wire guage is the length of the run from the main circuit breaker panel to the appliance because, the thicker a wire is, so the lower its electrical resistance is. That is why, to prevent the wire from becoming hot enough to start a house fire, for a long run the wire has to be much thicker than for a short run.Common house wiring for lighting circuits can be 12 or 14 guage.Wiring to supply a high-powered 240 volt kitchen range or clothesA dryer may have to be 4 or 6 guage but the actual size needed Always depends on the length of the run.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourselfon electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Well I am asnwering this just because the body piercing industry uses AWG (American Wire Gauge) for a standard jewellery gauge. So 14g is thicker than 18g, the higher the number the thinner it is, the lower the number the thicker it is.
12 gauge is thicker than 14 gauge.
Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.
16 gauge is smaller than a 14 gauge. You can buy a stretcher and stretch the hole.
14 gauge is larger than 16 gauge. 14 gauge is 1.6mm (0.06") and 16 gauge is 1.29mm (0.05").
Yes, you can. Most barbells made for the tongue are 14 gauge, so your ear piercing would need to be 14 gauge (much thicker than a regular earring). A labret is another option, as they are usually shorter.
The lower gauge number is always a thicker wire which can carry more current.
To determine the gauge of wire in your house, look for markings on the insulation or jacket of the wire. It usually indicates the gauge size, such as 14, 12, or 10. You can also use a wire gauge measuring tool to accurately determine the wire gauge.
from the question it can be seen that 14 > 7. so, 14 mm is greater than 7 mm. Hence,14 mm is thicker than 7 mm.
