Thickness of 16 penny??

Can anyone tell me what the comparable thickness is to a 16 penny nail in steel bars? Would it be for example 1/8,1/4..... etc????

Thanks

   My 16d finishing nails are 3.5" long and just a bit under 1/8” thick, probably about 3/32”.  Nails are much cheaper than bars.  If you use 1/8 bars, the hot rolled is softer than the cold rolled.
