The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
Sheet metal dimensions.
There are other measurement units used to categorise metals by thickness though.
There are a variety of standard sheet metal sizes including.
Foils sheets and plates are pretty much the same with the only difference being in thickness.
Millimetres mils gauge.
36 x 96 36 x 120 36 x 144 48 x 96 48 x 120 48 x 144.
Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres.
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.
Specifiers should consider the most economical use of these standard sizes before designing a project.
