This chart covers the common and uncommon sheet metal sizes for steel aluminum and galvanized steel.
The story of gauge.
Steel sheet metal tolerances.
Sheet metal thickness is denoted by gauge sometimes spelled gage which indicates a standard thickness before processing.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
When working with sheet metal the term gauge is often used.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
Gague are used to specify the thickness of a metal sheet.
Corresponds to the standard steel thickness of 0 0329 inches 0 84mm.

As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
The corresponding galvanized steel thickness is 0 0366 inches 0 93mm and the corresponding aluminum thickness is 0 028 inches 0 71mm.
Typically the even number gauges are used more frequently.
A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
