Sheet Metal Gauge Finder

Made of heavy gauge stainless steel.
Sheet metal gauge finder. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. Takes guess work out of measuring. As the gauge number increases the material thickness decreases. American wire gauge identifier shows the same markings as brown sharpe gauges.
A sheet metal gauge sometimes spelled gage indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material.

The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. Tempered for long life. Wire and sheet metal size identifiers read gauge numbers on one side of these identifiers and their decimal equivalents on the other. Sheet metal gauge size chart 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.
