The gauge system doesn't directly correlate to millimeters; however, in the body jewelry industry, a 14g piercing is usually around 1.6mm in diameter. It is always recommended to consult with a professional piercer for accurate measurements and to ensure proper sizing for your piercing.
Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. This means that 20 sheets of 20 ga steel have a thickness of one inch. Twenty-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. Standard steel caskets use 18 ga steel sheets which have a thickness of 1 mm. Upper end steel caskets use 16 ga steel sheets with a thickness of 1,3 mm. 16 sheets of 16 ga steel have a thickness of one inch.
The weight of a very thin but large (< 0.5 mm) steel plate is spread over a large area (> 0.5 m2) the surface tension of the water will stop it from sinking.
The weight of 1 meter of steel measuring 100 mm x 100 mm x 14 mm can be calculated by first finding the volume (100 mm x 100 mm x 14 mm = 140000 mm^3) and then converting it to cubic meters (140000 mm^3 = 0.00014 m^3). The weight of steel can vary, but a common density is around 7850 kg/m^3. Therefore, the weight of 1 meter of this steel would be approximately 7850 kg/m^3 * 0.00014 m^3 = 1.099 kg.
To calculate the weight of the steel plate, first calculate its volume by multiplying the dimensions (170x60x4 mm^3). Then convert the volume to cubic meters (1 m^3 = 1,000,000 mm^3). Finally, multiply the volume by the density of steel (usually around 7850 kg/m^3) to get the weight in kilograms.
