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.
Sheet metal gauge chart sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
The table below shows the actual thickness of sheet steel in millimetres and inches compared to gauge size.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

Steel sheet metal tolerances.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Converting sheet metal gauge numbers to millimeters is as simple as following the chart below.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
These dimensions vary slightly between different materials such as stainless steel and aluminium but should be accurate enough for most everyday purposes.
When working with sheet metal the term gauge is often used.
