The table below shows the actual thickness of sheet steel in millimetres and inches compared to gauge size.
2 mm in sheet metal gauge.
This chart covers the common and uncommon sheet metal sizes for steel aluminum and galvanized steel.
The thickness of sheet metals is specified by gauge.
These dimensions vary slightly between different materials such as stainless steel and aluminium but should be accurate enough for most everyday purposes.
0 1196 3 04 0 1256 3 19.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
0 1345 3 42 0 1405 3 57 0 1285 3 26 11.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Gauge nominal in mm max in mm min in mm 10.
Converting sheet metal gauge numbers to millimeters is as simple as following the chart below.
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.
