Sheet Metal Gauge Chart

Gauge, inch and mm are commonly used thickness units for sheet metal, gauge and inch are generally used by people in the United Kingdom and the United States, while mm is commonly used in Japan and other countries

What are the Gauges?

The gauge is used to specify the thickness of the sheet metal. The gauge is neither standard nor metric, and its value has nothing to do with those measuring systems.

The sheet metal thickness gauge for steel is based on a weight of 41.82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. This is called the steel plate manufacturer’s standard gauge.

FAQ

What are the gauges of sheet metal?

The larger the specification number, the thinner the metal. The commonly used steel sheet metal sheet ranges from size 35 to about 3.

16 gauge thickness in mm

standard steel: 1.367

GALVANIZED steel: 1.161

ALUMINUM:1.29

Stainless Steel: 1.588

18 gauge thickness in mm

standard steel: 1.214

GALVANIZED steel: 1.31
