Aluminum sheet metal gauge tolerance. Use the chart below to convert standard gauge numbers in decimals of an inch for sheet steel aluminum and stainless steel. The aluminum sheet metal thickness can be divided into four categories. The tolerances in the table and attachments reflect current manufacturing practices and commercial standards and are not representative of the manufacturer s standard gauge which has no inherent tolerances. 5052 aluminum h32.
Sheet metal guage tolerances. For example in one gauge system 18 gauge steel measures 0 0478 inches thick but 18 gauge aluminum is 0 0403 inches thick. Metal gauges below you ll find the info you need with our sheet steel stainless steel and aluminum sheet metal charts. It s also important when working with sheet metal that you factor in finish tolerances.
During the rolling process the rollers bow slightly which results in the sheets being thinner on the edges. Super thick sheets mm.
