Gauge (or gage) sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece ofsheet metal, with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet. The equivalentthicknesses differ for each gauge size standard, which were developed based onthe weight of the sheet for a given material. The Manufacturers' Standard Gageprovides the thicknesses for standard steel, galvanized steel, and stainlesssteel. 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. Inthe UK, the Birmingham Gage (BG) is used for a variety of metals and shouldnot be confused with the Birmingham Wire Gage (BWG), which is used forwires. Lastly, a standard exists for Zinc in which a higher gauge numberindicates a thicker sheet. The chart below can be used to determine theequivalent sheet thickness, in inches or millimeters, for a gauge number fromthe selected gauge size standard. The weight per unit area of the sheet can alsobe seen in pounds per square foot and kilograms per square meter.
