1.5" s/10 = 1.9" OD x 0.109" wall
1.5" s/40 = 1.9" OD x 0.145" wall

16ga wall = 0.0625" - 0.065" (within tolerance)
14ga wall = 0.083"


Metric:

1.5" s/10 = 48.26mm OD x 2.7686mm wall
1.5" s/40 = 48.26mm OD x 3.683mm wall

16ga = 1.5875mm - 1.651mm (check to see what Euro tolerances are)
14ga = 2.1082mm wall
