Brass Sheet Metal Thickness

It is important to know that the gauge thicknesses also vary depending on the type of sheet metal being referenced.

Brass sheet metal thickness.

A selection of pre cut sizes are available in our online store. The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal not applicable for zinc. A sheet metal gauge gage is an indication of the standard thickness of specific metal materials such as steel aluminum and copper. 260 brass sheet plate aka cartridge brass or yellow brass is the most popular and economical of the brass alloys.

They might use the wrong metal s gauge chart or pick an obsolete standard when labeling a sheet of material. Stainless steel is 0 105 thick aluminum is 0 080 copper is 0 108 and brass is 0 081. 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. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

We sell part sheets full sheets and cut to size. Keep in mind that some manufacturers distributors and end users get the gauge thickness wrong. This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel. Take for instance 12 gauge thickness across the material types listed below.

For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. Brass sheet plate offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents as well as industrial atmospheres and marine environments. 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.

There are also gauge numbers like 000000 and 0 for aluminum and stainless steel the metal thickness of 000000 gauge is larger than 0. 16 ga crs is 2 5 pounds per square foot. 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. 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.

For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 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. The thicknesses of our brass sheet begin at 0 02 and goes up to 0 125. If you re having trouble picking out a thickness take a look at our page on deciding on a material thickness.
