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. The equivalent
thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard, which were developed based on
the weight of the sheet for a given material. The Manufacturers' Standard Gage
provides the thicknesses for standard steel, galvanized steel, and stainless
steel. The Brown and Sharpe Gage, also known as the American Wire Gage
(AWG), is used for most non ferrous metals, such as Aluminum and Brass. In
the UK, the Birmingham Gage (BG) is used for a variety of metals and should
not be confused with the Birmingham Wire Gage (BWG), which is used for
wires. Lastly, a standard exists for Zinc in which a higher gauge number
indicates a thicker sheet. 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.
