The table below shows the actual thickness of sheet steel in millimetres and inches compared to gauge size.
The unit to measure the thickness of the steel or sheet metal is called as the gauge.
These dimensions vary slightly between different materials such as stainless steel and aluminium but should be accurate enough for most everyday purposes.
Most used steel sheet metals have gauge values between 30 and 7.
