Common Stainless Steel Sheet Thickness

0 025 0 64 mm.
Common stainless steel sheet thickness. For plates up to 10 inches excl in thickness the tolerance under the specified thickness is 0 010. 1000 thru 1300. Thickness is measured along the longitudinal edges of the plate at least 3 8inches but not more than 3 inches from the edge. Millimetres mils gauge.
Sheet metal is one of the shapes and forms metal can be bought in. The gauge number 18 holds no relevance to the actual measurements. Inches mm inches mm 26. Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres.

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. 304 stainless steel has a high resistance to corrosion and lends itself to many types of fabrication making it one of the most widely used forms of stainless steel used today. 1300 thru 2100.
