Copper Sheet Gage Thickness

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

Copper sheet gage thickness.

Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. 8 gauge 4 191 mm aluminum brass copper. Gauge when applied to copper brass or silver means a different set of thicknesses however. 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.

It is approximately twice as thick as 22 mil copper and weighs approximately 2 pounds per square foot. As with steel as the gauge gets higher the thickness gets lower. 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. Unlike with steel i can t find a set standard for tolerances for sheets of this material.

8 gauge 4 115 mm. 8 gauge 4 176 mm stainless steel. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. Gauge differs between ferrous iron based metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper.

It s based on the american or brown and sharpe wire gauge standard. Copper thickness for example is measured in ounces representing the weight of copper contained in an area of one square foot. For different materials of steel the same gauge will also correspond to different mm.
