Steel sheet gauge size chart.
Use our handy chart to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel aluminum and stainless steel.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
The following sheet metal gauge size reference chart gives the weight and thickness of sheet metal given as a gauge sometimes spelled gage and indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal and wire for most materials as the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Related product s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge.
The gauge number 18.
