Sheet metal gauge thickness chart.
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.
The comparison of different unit systems is shown in the table below.
When working with sheet metal the term gauge is often used.
The table below shows the actual thickness of sheet steel in millimetres and inches compared to gauge size.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
The thickness of sheet metals is specified by gauge.
Our standard sizes are 0 8mm.
Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system.
