Imperial sheet metal thickness.

The chart below shows the imperial standard sheet gauge definition with its metric equivalent and today s commercially available ferrous mild steel zintec galvanised steel stainless steel alloys and non ferrous aluminium alloys brass copper sheet. Standard metric sheet in mm. Corresponds to the standard steel thickness of 0 0329 inches 0 84mm. Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems.

The table below provides conversion to inches. Unit 4 yakira buildings 83 sefton lane maghull liverpool l31 8bu. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. The story of gauge.

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. Metal sheet thickness is measured in gauge. 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. Gauges are used to specify the thickness of a sheet metal.

The corresponding galvanized steel thickness is 0 0366 inches 0 93mm and the corresponding aluminum thickness is 0 028 inches 0 71mm. 44 560 115 7793 email. Imperial equivalent in mm.

Wire conductor sizes are also measured in gauge and are equivalent to the non ferrous thicknesses listed below but we have an article specific to wire gauge. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel. As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
