Steel sheet metal gauge thickness tolerance.

At american metal supply we provide the chart to calculate thickness and sheet tolerance in inches and the weight for various gauges. During the rolling process the rollers bow slightly which results in the sheets being thinner on the edges. Hr hot rolled cr cold rolled sheet metal gage guage size chart carbon steel sheets. The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal.

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. 1250 mm wide sheet metal. Sheet metal guage tolerances.

Thickness tolerance in mm or for given width in mm. Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems. In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.

Gauge differs between ferrous iron based metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. The following charts give typical astm and ansi steel sheet mechanical tolerance ranges. The tolerances in the table and attachments reflect current manufacturing practices and commercial standards and are not representative of the manufacturer s standard gauge which has no inherent tolerances.
