Dimension of sheet metal gauges.

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. As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases. Sheet metal knowledge menu sheet metal manufacturing and services. 2 15 2011 3 35 40 pm.

Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system. A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

1220 x 2438 or 1220 x 3048. For full table with stainless steel aluminum strip and tubing rotate the screen. Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet. The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.

For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 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. Originally used in the fields of medicine and jewellery the larger the number the smaller the diameter and now it is also used to indicate the thickness.

Gauge and weight chart for sheet steel galvanized steel stainless steel aluminum and strip tubing. Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area. Specifiers should consider the most economical use of these standard sizes before designing a project. 48 x 96 or 48 x 120.
