Standard Metric Sheet Metal Thickness

Sheet metal is manufactured and delivered from the processing mill rolled to the standard thickness that you specify which is now metric.

Standard metric sheet metal thickness.

For example 18 gauge steel. Thickness tolerance specified width. Stainless steel sheet has great durability and tensile strength. The high quality finish makes stainless steel sheet an excellent choice for the food industry whether that is food production or storage we offer stainless steel sheet in a variety of grades and common metric sizes.

A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material. Gauges are used to specify the thickness of a sheet of metal. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart.

These units are neither standard of metric and are completely independent of those typical measurement systems. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases. Keeping a gauge conversion chart nearby is an easy way to determine the actual thickness of a sheet of metal in inches or millimeters.

Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet. Equal to less than 1000 1000 thru 1300 1300 thru 2100. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. The sheet metal does however have a tolerance on the rolling thickness which needs to be taken into account when designing a tight fitting assembly especially as the sheet metal material gets thicker.

Custom cutting services are also available. Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems. Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems.
