Stainless Steel Thickness Gauge Sheet

For the purpose of securing uniformity the following is established as the only standard gauge for sheet and plate iron and steel in the united states of america namely.

Stainless steel thickness gauge sheet.

Use it for high pressure applications in caustic environments. Also known as duplex stainless steel it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

Approximate thickness in fractions of an inch. For full table with stainless steel aluminum strip and tubing rotate the screen. Gauge to thickness chart gauge stainless galvanized sheet steel aluminum fraction inches mm inches mm inches mm inches mm 30 0 0125 0 33 0 0157 0 40 0 0120 0 30 0 0100 0 25. The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal.

2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress corrosive chemicals and heat. This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications. The gauges shown above are based on american stainless steel sheet steel manufacturers gauge thickness. In most of the world sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters.

Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. These will vary from british gauges with some exceptions. Gauge to thickness chart click here for a printable pdf chart gauge. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

Our suppliers have provided the material data above with the nominal thicknesses based on industry standards. Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area. Approximate thickness in millimeters. Approximate thickness in decimal parts of an inch.

In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge.
