The chart below can be used to determine the equivalent sheet thickness, in inches or millimeters, for a gauge number from the selected gauge size standard. The weight per unit area of the sheet can also be seen in pounds per square foot and kilograms per square meter.
Standard Steel: 16 Gauge = 1.519 mm. Galvanized Steel: 16 Gauge = 1.613 mm. Stainless Steel: 16 Gauge = 1.588 mm. Aluminum, Brass, Copper: 16 Gauge = 1.29 mm. When working with sheet metal, the term “gauge” is often used. Gauge are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. For example, 18 gauge steel, according to a gauge conversion chart, is 0.0478 inch or 1.214 millimeter.
Use our handy chart to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel, aluminum and stainless steel.
A sheet metal gauge chart uses the thickness and weight per area of different metals to determine standardised thicknesses or ‘gauges’. The higher the gauge, the thinner the sheet. Selecting the correct thickness is a critical part of the sheet metal fabrication design process .
Quick Tips on How to Use the Aluminum Gauge Chart: Identify Your Needs: Determine the required thickness for your project before referring to the chart. Match Specifications: Use the chart to find the exact gauge that corresponds to the desired aluminum thickness.
