Common stainless steel sheet thickness.
Millimetres mils gauge.
Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres.
Inches mm inches mm 26.
Thickness is measured along the longitudinal edges of the plate at least 3 8inches but not more than 3 inches from the edge.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
Sheet metal is one of the shapes and forms metal can be bought in.
For plates up to 10 inches excl in thickness the tolerance under the specified thickness is 0 010.
There are other measurement units used to categorise metals by thickness though.
Foils sheets and plates are pretty much the same with the only difference being in thickness.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
