For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Sheet metal gauge table metric.
Si metric conversion tables sheet metal gauge to metric mm equivalent thickness.
The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel.
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.

This chart covers the common and uncommon sheet metal sizes for steel aluminum and galvanized steel.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet.
To use the tables below.
Converting sheet metal gauge numbers to millimeters is as simple as following the chart below.
It is possible to choose other bends but tooling charges may apply.
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.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Users can also specify the available default bend radius based on available tooling.
Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems.
A great tool available to solidworks sheet metal users is the sheet metal gauge table in this table users can configure a microsoft excel spreadsheet to represent the appropriate sheet metal wall thickness based on material and gauge values.
