Common stainless steel sheet thickness.

The most common variety of stainless steel and one that is frequently used in marlin steel s custom wire basket designs because of its versatility. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. These will vary from british gauges with some exceptions. This type of stainless sheet thickness provides excellent corrosion resistance for both industrial and marine applications.

In the u s the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional non linear measure known as its gauge. Grade 304 stainless steel. Pretty much all the common engineering metals are also used in the form of sheets. The thickness of sheet metal starts from 0 5 mm and goes up to 6 mm.

The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal. Thickness tolerance specified width. Our suppliers have provided the material data above with the nominal thicknesses based on industry standards. Some of them are carbon steel stainless steel copper and aluminium.

For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. Number of gauge approximate thickness in fractions of an inch. Anything above that is a metal plate. 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.

In most of the world sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters.
