BWG gives wall thickness of pipes. So I think higher BWG should give higher tube thickness.

Exactly @Sherya you are right.
Wall thickness of a tube is normally given by BWG. When gauge numbers is given for a pipe/tube without reference to a system, Birmingham Wire Gauge - BWG - is implied.
Birmingham Wire Gauge is also known as Stubs' Wire Gauge, and also used for drill rod and tool steel wire.

It only measures the thickness hence the thickness increase.

I think as BWG increases, thickness decreases. In that case cross sectional area will increase. Reverse in case of schedule number.

Yes, BWG number is inversely proportional to tube wall thickness. Higher the BWG, lower will the thickness.

Yes, you are right @Sunil Tiwari.

It should be higher thickness.
