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 thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.

Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet.
Standard steel mm non ferrous aluminum mm galvanized steel mm 000000.
The corresponding galvanized steel thickness is 0 0366 inches 0 93mm and the corresponding aluminum thickness is 0 028 inches 0 71mm.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.
The story of gauge.
A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
This chart covers the common and uncommon sheet metal sizes for steel aluminum and galvanized steel.
Stainless steel sheet metal tolerances table chart.
Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
