Working with sheet metal as shown in figure 1 gauge sizes can be confusing at the best of times.
1 8 sheet steel guage to inch.
Our standard sizes are 0 8mm.
Converting sheet metal gauge to thickness in inches.
0 0394 inch 20 gauge.
Sheet metal gauges work opposite to what one might consider the norm.

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
Gauge to inch gauge to mm list for stainless steel sheet.
Hence 4 gauge material is thicker than 6 gauge material.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
