Steel sheet metal thickness mm.

In most of the world sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal. Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.

Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 10 gauge 3 571 mm aluminum brass copper. 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.
