Does anyone know where I could get a chart that would convert sheet metal gauge to decimal and fraction?
Thanks
Chopper

10ga .133 / .150
11ga .112 / .120 12ga .104 / .112 13ga .080 / .094 14ga .070 / .082 16ga .055 / .067
18ga .043 / .051 20ga .033 / .039
22ga .028 / .034 24ga .022 / .027

Thats not a easy find. My SM handbook has 7 different gauge charts depending on what metal were talking about. And those are approx. thickness as it can vary from mfg to mfg.

If you know what metal you want to work with, I wouldn't mind quoting a few.

Thanks for the input guys, really helpful.

T-Bone, didn't know there were so many charts. I was just looking for something generic ±.

I received a chart from another guy on another site so won't need you to look, but thanks.

Again Thanks to ALL (Alvin, Rod & T-Bone.)

Hi Chopper,

Rod posted you a good list. At the time I didn't have enough time to post all the different types so will include them here.

The SM standard is the Brown & Sharp (B&S) gauge. You can get them from about any hardware store made by General Tools, sold by Craftsman. There usually round with a wire gauge on the inner diameter and SM gauge slots on the outside diameter.

Most metals are close to gauge in decimals other than Zinc (not talking about galvanized), Brass, Aluminum, and some types of Stainless.

A couple listing are: Galvanized 20ga = .0382 to .0482
Brass 20ga = .032 Carbon Steel 20ga = .0359
Copper 20ga = .035
Aluminum 20ga = .032
Music Wire 20ga = .045
Stainless 20ga = .036 to .040

Heres a site with steel, aluminum-brass, steel wire and music wire. A guy can't have too many charts, I even keep them in the bathroom, a little rough but what the heck. www.thelenchannel.com/1sheet.html
