Copper Sheet Gage Thickness

It is approximately twice as thick as 22 mil copper and weighs approximately 2 pounds per square foot.

Copper sheet gage thickness.

40 mil 18 gauge 040 18 gauge copper sheeting is heavyweight copper. Gauge when applied to copper brass or silver means a different set of thicknesses however. 8 gauge 4 115 mm. Unlike with steel i can t find a set standard for tolerances for sheets of this material.

Gauge differs between ferrous iron based metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. It is approximately twice as thick as 22 mil copper and weighs approximately 2 pounds per square foot. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters. Gauge to thickness chart gauge stainless galvanized sheet steel aluminum fraction inches mm inches mm inches mm inches mm 30 0 0125 0 33 0 0157 0 40 0 0120 0 30 0 0100 0 25.

8 gauge 4 176 mm stainless steel. Copper thickness for example is measured in ounces representing the weight of copper contained in an area of one 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. 8 gauge 4 191 mm aluminum brass copper.

For different materials of steel the same gauge will also correspond to different mm. As with steel as the gauge gets higher the thickness gets lower. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
