A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
The charts include fractional decimal and metric dimensions for reference.
As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases.
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.
The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
