The following sheet metal gauge size reference chart gives the weight and thickness of sheet metal given as a gauge sometimes spelled gage and indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal and wire for most materials as the gauge number increases the material thickness.
Aluminum sheet gauge chart.
Use the chart below to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel aluminum and stainless steel.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
For full table with stainless steel aluminum strip and tubing rotate the screen.

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.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
