In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge.
Steel sheet metal thickness mm.
The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal.
Mesteel steel thickness conversion tables tables.
Convert gauges bwg usg to inches and millimeters.
Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
10 gauge 2 588 mm.
Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.
In most of the world sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
10 gauge 3 51 mm stainless steel.
10 gauge 3 571 mm aluminum brass copper.
Sheet metal gauge size chart gauge or gage sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece of sheet metal with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
