Common Stainless Steel Sheet Thickness

Millimetres mils gauge.
Common stainless steel sheet thickness. Thickness is measured along the longitudinal edges of the plate at least 3 8inches but not more than 3 inches from the edge. Foils sheets and plates are pretty much the same with the only difference being in thickness. There are other measurement units used to categorise metals by thickness though. 304 stainless steel has a high resistance to corrosion and lends itself to many types of fabrication making it one of the most widely used forms of stainless steel used today.

Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0 5 6 millimetres. 1000 thru 1300. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. 1300 thru 2100.
