The chart below can be used to determine the equivalent sheet thickness, in inches or millimeters, for a gauge number from the selected gauge size standard. The weight per unit area of the sheet can also be seen in pounds per square foot and kilograms per square meter.
Ga. is different from inches, there is no conversion formula. Even when the non-ferrous metal plate and the steel plate are the same Ga., the thickness is actually different. You can find the gauge to mm / inch conversion for sheet metal by the chart below.

The following sheet metal gauge size reference chart gives the weight and thickness of sheet metal given as a "gauge" (sometimes spelled gage) and indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal and wire.For most materials, as the gauge number increases, the material thickness decreases.
For example, a 16 gauge CRCA sheet metal measures 1.5 mm thickness. Whereas, a 16 gauge aluminum sheet measures 1.3 mm thickness. This article can help engineers in sheet gauge number to mm or inch conversion.
Standard Gauges of Sheet Metal Chart. Find the proper measurement for your gauge size. This chart compares gage numbers to their steel and aluminum sizing standards.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. For example, 18 gauge steel, according to a gauge conversion chart, is 0.0478 inch or 1.214 millimeter.
For example, 18-gauge sheet metal made from aluminum is 0.040 inches, 20-gauge sheet metal made from aluminum is 0.032 inches, and 16-gauge sheet metal made from aluminum is 0.050 inches. The difference in thickness between 18-gauge and 20-gauge is 0.008 inches, while the difference in thickness between 18-gauge and 16-gauge is 0.010 inches.
For example, 16-gauge steel is approximately 1.52 mm thick, while 16-gauge aluminum is about 1.29 mm. Importance of Verification: Always confirm the precise thickness with your material supplier, particularly for polished, coated, or heat-treated materials.
Below you will find a chart for metal thicknesses and weights. Commonly used metals for manufacturing at our shop are: Aluminum: 0.025", 0.032", 0.040", 0.050", 0.063", 0.080", 1/8" (0.125") and 1/4" (0.25"). Cold and hot rolled steel: 16 gauge, 14 gauge, 1/8" and 1/4".
