What is gauge thickness?

A sheet metal gauge (sometimes spelled “gage”) indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material. As the gauge number increases, the material thickness decreases. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41.82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.

How do you measure gauge thickness?

How to Measure Sheet Metal Gauge Thickness

  1. Use a tape measure to find the thickness of your sheet metal piece.
  2. Multiply the number of millimeters by 0.03937 to convert to inches.
  3. Compare the thickness of your sheet metal in inches to a sheet metal gauge chart to find the proper gauge of that particular piece.
