Gauge and weight chart for sheet steel galvanized steel stainless steel aluminum and strip tubing.

Stainless steel sheet metal gauge sizes.

The manufacturers standard gage provides the thicknesses for standard steel galvanized steel and stainless steel. Gauge numbers continue both to thicker and thinner sections but these charts cover the most common ranges. Aisi 304 304l astm a240 ams 5513 5511. Stainless steel sheet metal tolerances thickness in.

Inches mm inches mm 26. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. For example in one gauge system 18 gauge steel measures 0 0478 inches thick but 18 gauge aluminum is 0 0403 inches thick. 0 0187 0 452 0 0217 0 55 0 0179 0 45 0 0159 40 25.

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 decreases. Our stainless steel sheet metal is available in stock sizes or cut to size. Ryerson stocks many varieties of stainless steel sheet including 304 stainless steel the most popular of the stainless steels. 1 ft2 0 0929 m2 1 lb 0 4536 kg.

304 stainless sheet offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area. The charts include fractional decimal and metric dimensions for reference. 0135 0 3 0113 0 3 0141 0 3 dimension in inches millimeters.

The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements. 0149 0 4 0126 0 3 0156 0 4 29. There are several different gauge systems used today with specific gauge designations used for specific metal types. 304 stainless steel sheet is the most popular and economical of the stainless steels.

This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. 304 stainless sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.
