Stainless steel sheet gage sizes.

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 thickness decreases. There are several different gauge systems used today with specific gauge designations used for specific metal types. 16 gauge 1 519 mm galvanized steel. Ryerson stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel the most popular of the stainless steels.

0149 0 4 0126 0 3 0156 0 4 29. Inches mm inches mm inches mm inches mm 26. For an identical application in brass alloys which are softer materials we recommend to specify nothing less than 18 or 16 gauge 0 050 or 0 060 1 20 mm or 1 50 mm. 16 gauge 1 29 mm.

The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements. Stainless steel sheet metal tolerances thickness in. This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. If the plain metal sheet is glued to a solid substrate such as steel heavy plywood or particle board then 20 gauge 0 040 or 1 00 mm stainless steel is sufficient.

16 gauge 1 588 mm aluminum brass copper. Gauge size in inches thickness in inches est. 0135 0 3 0113 0 3 0141 0 3 dimension in inches millimeters. For example in one gauge system 18 gauge steel measures 0 0478 inches thick but 18 gauge aluminum is 0 0403 inches thick.

16 gauge 1 613 mm stainless steel. Choose from 304 316l or 430 stainless and a variety of finishes. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
