There is no way. Gauges are measurements left over from history when there were few accurate means of measuring. For example: Shotgun gauges: The number of round lead balls needed to make a pound. So a 1 gauge shotgun had a diameter just large enough to fire a 1 pound lead ball. A 12 gauge shotgun had a diameter just large enough so that 12 lead balls of its ammunition balls would equal a pound, and the biggest ball it could fire was 1/12 pound. Nutty huh? There are lots of sheetmetal and tube and wire gauges based on "how many sheets of some particular area would add up to some weight" or "how long a wire or tube would be some weight", etc. The ISO (metric) system tosses all these into the dustbin of history where they belong.
