A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. For full table with stainless steel aluminum strip and tubing rotate the screen.

Wire gauge is a measure for the size of a wire either in diameter or in cross sectional area. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 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 thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
