Brass Sheet Metal Gauge Thickness

Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.

Brass sheet metal gauge thickness.

We stock brass sheet in thickness 0 3mm 0 4mm 0 5mm 0 7mm 0 9mm 1 2mm 1 5mm 2 0mm and 3 0mm. Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet. Engineers may need a steel gauge chart to determine the required dimensions of the material to be machined to understand the gauge system and familiar with the thickness for specific gauge such as 16 gauge thickness here we ll explain what is sheet metal gauge thickness how does it work and the sheet metal gauge chart for stainless steel sheet steel galvanized steel aluminum brass. Samples of our brass sheet metal are available usually free of charge to designers architects and businesses.

Thus a 10. Gague ga is a length measurement unit for diameters originating in north america and belongs to the browne sharpe metering system. As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different. A selection of pre cut sizes are available in our online store. In an earlier article we took a look at the standard gauges for steel sheet. As with steel as the gauge gets higher the thickness gets lower.

This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel. 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. It s based on the american or brown and sharpe wire gauge standard. We sell part sheets full sheets and cut to size.

Gauge when applied to copper brass or silver means a different set of thicknesses however. Stainless steel is 0 105 thick aluminum is 0 080 copper is 0 108 and brass is 0 081. It is important to know that the gauge thicknesses also vary depending on the type of sheet metal being referenced. 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.
