SHEET METAL GAUGE CHART

Same gauge. Different thickness.

Choose the material first. Compare nominal inch and millimeter values, or work back from a measured thickness.

READ THE TABLE IN CONTEXT

Nominal does not mean measured.

These are the listed sheet-gauge entries in the selected US supplier reference. A missing gauge number is not interpolated or filled from another material. The table is not a certificate of your sheet’s actual thickness.

Inches retain the selected source’s decimal values. Millimeters are calculated from those inches using 1 in = 25.4 mm, so they can differ from a supplier’s shortened metric display. For galvanized sheet, confirm the supplier’s coating and thickness specification.

Reference: Metal Supermarkets. Overlapping steel, aluminum and stainless entries were compared with UniPunch; differences in displayed decimal precision are recorded in our methodology.
