Al sheet metal gauge thickness.
This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel.
An aluminum sheet metal thickness refers to the thickness of an aluminium sheets a flat square or rectangle piece of aluminum material with a thickness of between 0 2mm and 500mm a width of 200mm some are even 50mm and above and more and a length of 16m or less.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
Copper thickness for example is measured in ounces representing the weight of copper contained in an area of one square foot.

A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different.
Sheet metal measuring tools.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Thus a 10 gauge steel sheet which has a.
0 7 mm 0 8mm and 1 5 mm.
Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

Use the chart below to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel aluminum and stainless steel.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
