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.
Stainless steel gage sheet.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area.
2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress corrosive chemicals and heat.
Item 168753 model 11786.
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.

Also known as duplex stainless steel it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel.
Use it for high pressure applications in caustic environments.
