This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.

Cost effective and versatile material sheet is suitable for most applications where durable support and corrosion resistance are required. The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements. Inches mm inches mm inches mm inches mm 26. Gauge numbers continue both to thicker and thinner sections but these charts cover the most common ranges.

The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel. For example in one gauge system 18 gauge steel measures 0 0478 inches thick but 18 gauge aluminum is 0 0403 inches thick. Choose from 304 316l or 430 stainless and a variety of finishes. 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.

Ryerson stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel the most popular of the stainless steels. Contact industrial metal supply today. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. Aisi 304 304l astm a240 ams 5513 5511.

Our stainless steel sheet metal is available in stock sizes or cut to size. Charts for aluminum steel stainless steel and galvanized steel sheet are presented here with thicknesses ranging from 1 64 to 1 4 inch. There are several different gauge systems used today with specific gauge designations used for specific metal types. 304 stainless steel sheet plate is the ideal choice due to its tensile strength high resistance to rust and high fabrication ability.

304 stainless sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.
