Sheet Metal Gauge To Mm

A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.

Sheet metal gauge to mm.

Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system. 0 1196 3 04 0 1256 3 19. Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently. Steel sheet metal tolerances.

Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing. Gauge nominal in mm max in mm min in mm 10. Click here for a gauge to mm conversion chart. The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.

This is known as the manufacturers standard. Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet. This chart covers the common and uncommon sheet metal sizes for steel aluminum and galvanized steel. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.

Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively. Corresponds to the standard steel thickness of 0 0329 inches 0 84mm. 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.

0 1345 3 42 0 1405 3 57 0 1285 3 26 11. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. 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.

As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
