Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
How thick is 1 gauge sheet metal.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin flat pieces.
Extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 6 mm 0 25 in are considered.
Thicknesses can vary significantly.
Gague 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.
