Gauge to thickness chart.
Thus a 10 gauge steel sheet which has a thickness of 0 1345 inches will weigh 41 82 0 1345 5 625 pounds per square foot.
Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different.
