How Are Sheet Metal Gauges Used? The gauge of a piece of sheet metal refers to its thickness. While this value is not provided in imperial or metric units, it can be converted to one or the other using a gauge conversion chart. Sheet Metal Gauge Charts Carbon Steel Gauge Chart Gauge Num...
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 equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard, which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. The ...
When referring to metal, “gauge” is a standardized measurement of the thickness of the product in question, generally sheet steel, steel plate, or wire. Sheet steel thickness decreases as the gauge number increases.There are a couple of explanations for the origin of gauge as a measure of ...
7 gauge stainless steel has a thickness of 0.1875″. 10 gauge stainless steel has a thickness of 0.1406.” 11 gauge stainless steel has a thickness of 0.1250″. Sheet Metal Thickness Chart The table below shows the sheet metal thickness chart to make sure you get the right products. We hav...
Sheet Metal Knowledge Menu The following sheet metal gauge size reference chart gives the weight and thickness of sheet metal given as a "gauge" (sometimes spelled gage) and indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal and wire.For most materials, as the gauge number increases, the material ...
