Converting sheet metal gauge numbers to millimeters is as simple as following the chart below.
Gauge sheet metal in mm.
Corresponds to the standard steel thickness of 0 0329 inches 0 84mm.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.

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.
When working with sheet metal the term gauge is often used.
Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet.

Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.
This is known as the manufacturers standard.
Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system.
The story of gauge.
A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
The corresponding galvanized steel thickness is 0 0366 inches 0 93mm and the corresponding aluminum thickness is 0 028 inches 0 71mm.

Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
