Steel sheet sizes.

Factors to consider with sheet metal sizes. Generally sheet metal is considered anything thinner than about 0 25. 2 x 4 ft. The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel.

Per inch of width sheet circlediameter x diameter x thickness x 228 lbs. Each platethickness x width x length x 2836 lbs. Select size 1 x 2 ft. Beyond 0 25 the material is referred to as plate metal.

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. 1 x 4 ft. 2 x 2 ft. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

4 x 10 ft. 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. 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.
