Common Stainless Steel Sheet Thickness

1000 thru 1300.
Common stainless steel sheet thickness. Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres. Sheet metal is one of the shapes and forms metal can be bought in. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. Millimetres mils gauge.
Foils sheets and plates are pretty much the same with the only difference being in thickness. Thickness is measured along the longitudinal edges of the plate at least 3 8inches but not more than 3 inches from the edge. 1300 thru 2100. 0 0187 0 452 0 0217 0 55 0 0179 0 45 0 0159 40 25.
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. Inches mm inches mm 26. For plates up to 10 inches excl in thickness the tolerance under the specified thickness is 0 010. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
