Brass Sheet Metal Thickness

A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

Brass sheet metal thickness.

The thicknesses of our brass sheet begin at 0 02 and goes up to 0 125. Thus a 10 gauge steel sheet which has a thickness of 0 1345 inches will weigh 41 82 0 1345 5 625 pounds per square foot. 16 ga crs is 2 5 pounds per square foot. They might use the wrong metal s gauge chart or pick an obsolete standard when labeling a sheet of material.

260 brass sheet plate aka cartridge brass or yellow brass is the most popular and economical of the brass alloys. Small parts 260 brass sheet unpolished mill finish half hard temper 0 001 0 015 thickness 6 width 12 length pack of 12. If you re having trouble picking out a thickness take a look at our page on deciding on a material thickness. For 18 ga crs the weight is 2 0 pounds per square foot and for 20 ga crs the weight is 1 5 pounds per square foot.

This cross reference table based on brown and sharpe will help you convert gauge to inches and pounds per square foot. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. Take for instance 12 gauge thickness across the material types listed below. There are also gauge numbers like 000000 and 0 for aluminum and stainless steel the metal thickness of 000000 gauge is larger than 0.

The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal not applicable for zinc. A selection of pre cut sizes are available in our online store. Stainless steel is 0 105 thick aluminum is 0 080 copper is 0 108 and brass is 0 081. Brass sheet plate offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments.

Brass sheet products are a soft ductile metal that brazes cuts and machines easily. If you are in need of something thinner than brass sheet our brass coil sheeting ranges in thickness from 0 005 or 8 gauge to 0 020 or 24 gauge. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. Keep in mind that some manufacturers distributors and end users get the gauge thickness wrong.

Sheet metal gauge size chart 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. We stock brass sheet in thickness 0 3mm 0 4mm 0 5mm 0 7mm 0 9mm 1 2mm 1 5mm 2 0mm and 3 0mm samples of our brass sheet metal are available usually free of charge to designers architects and businesses. This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel. We sell part sheets full sheets and cut to size.
