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.

Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
Corresponds to the standard steel thickness of 0 0329 inches 0 84mm.
Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge.
The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal.

In most of the world sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters.

The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.
Converting sheet metal gauge numbers to millimeters is as simple as following the chart below.
Use the chart below to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel aluminum and stainless steel.
Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
