Metric Sheet Metal Thickness

A wide variety of metric sheet metal thickness options are available to you such as standard certification and special use.

Metric sheet metal thickness.

Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system. However i am working on something that requires that all datasesets to be metric by default and i want to make certain i am using common sizes. Sheet metal gauge size chart 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. It is important to know that the gauge thicknesses also vary depending on the type of sheet metal being referenced.

Stainless steel sheet has great durability and tensile strength. Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet. Low carbon steel also known as mild steel is easy to machine form and weld. We offer stainless steel sheet in a variety of grades and common metric sizes.

Take for instance 12 gauge thickness across the material types listed below. Stainless steel is 0 105 thick aluminum is 0 080 copper is 0 108 and brass is 0 081. The sheet metal does however have a tolerance on the rolling thickness which needs to be taken into account when designing a tight fitting assembly especially as the sheet metal material gets thicker. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

If there is anyone here that is familiar with sheet metal fabrication and would be willing to provide a list of common metric sheet metal. 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 gauge thickness chart when working with sheet metal the term gauge is often used. With a thickness that s precision ground to a tight tolerance these bars are sometimes called flat stock.

Select a grade and choose your size to add carbon steel sheet metal to your quote or start building your quote here. Sheet metal is manufactured and delivered from the processing mill rolled to the standard thickness that you specify which is now metric. The sheet metal is identified by gauge for example 12 ga. The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.

The high quality finish makes stainless steel sheet an excellent choice for the food industry whether that is food production or storage. It s widely fabricated into parts that don t require high strength such as fixture clamps mounting plates and spacers. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. About 0 of these are gauges.

Custom cutting services are also available.
