Standard sheet metal material.

The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel. When designing parts for laser cutting one should not make holes smaller than the thickness of the material. There are other measurement units used to categorise metals by thickness though. Millimetres mils gauge foils sheets and plates are pretty much the same with the only difference being in thickness.

Sheet metal materials are available in standard sheet thickness. Astm s steel standards are instrumental in classifying evaluating and specifying the material chemical mechanical and metallurgical properties of the different types of steels which are primarily used in the production of mechanical components industrial parts and construction elements as well as other accessories related to them. Our partnership approach to business means that in addition to quality metal solutions we build long lasting relationships with our customers. Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0 9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured.

For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different. Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres. Structural simulation or manual calculations are recommended to calculate required sheet thickness.

Standard sheet metal is an industry leader in custom metal fabrication and a manufacturer of custom structural steel components. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel. Gauge differs between ferrous iron based metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper.

Industrial metal supply co. Enclosure sheet thickness depends on material properties product size weight constraints and loads acting on it. Metal roofing 25 30 in. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.

Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. Offers hot and cold rolled steel sheet and hot and cold rolled steel plate in a broad range of lengths widths gauges alloys and specifications to meet your material requirements.
