Brass Sheet Metal Gauge Thickness Chart

Stainless steel is 0 105 thick aluminum is 0 080 copper is 0 108 and brass is 0 081.

Brass sheet metal gauge thickness chart.

It is important to know that the gauge thicknesses also vary depending on the type of sheet metal being referenced. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. Unlike with steel i can t find a set. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

It s based on the american or brown and sharpe wire gauge standard. It is the same alloy as our jewelers bronze wire. Take for instance 12 gauge thickness across the material types listed below. Yellow brass sheet left has a light bright gold color.

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. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 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.
