Gauge is defined differently for ferrous iron based and non ferrous metals e g.
Density of sheet metal.
Densities of metals and elements table.
Enclosure sheet thickness depends on material properties product size weight constraints and loads acting on it.
Sheet metal weight and gauge chart.
For g cm 3 multiply density in lb in.
Densities of metals and elements table.
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume.
Manufacturers standard gauge for sheet steel is based on an average density of 41 82 lb per square foot per inch thick equivalent to 501 84 pounds per cubic foot 8 038 7 kg m 3.
Below is the density table of various sheet metal materials.
Structural simulation or manual calculations are recommended to calculate required sheet thickness.
For kg m 3 multiply density in lb in.
For density in lb ft 3 multiply lb in.
Stainless steel copper zinc aluminum steel and galvanized steel.
Sheet metal materials are available in standard sheet thickness.
Hope it is of help to you.
