really thick really thick! That's a really thick answer. What people need to know is that 22 refers to Standard sheet and Wire Gauge. See: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4143 Far from being thick it is rather thin especially if you want to weld it. It is 0.7mm
It is the thickness of 22 gauges.. or 64 one hundredths of a millimeter or twenty-five one thousandths of an inch. Check out a very conversionary unit conversion site here for silver informatics (http://www.silverenchantments.com/conversion-charts.html) You should know that actual thickness values depend on the material. Gauging, if I may, allows for a standardized approach to manufacture, inventory, etc. etc.
Many sheets, metal, plastic, fiber and vinyl use Stubbs' steel wire gauge measurements. Copper wire has different measurements.
22 ga. vinyl would be 0.028" inch or 28 mils in thickness.
A second means of determining thin plastic film thicknesses is that 1 gauge is equal to 1/100 mil or 0.00001 inches. or 0.254 microns. thus 22 gauge would be 0.22 mils or 5.6 microns (very thin indeed) a 0.9 mil trash bag (not a heavy duty bag) then by this definition would be a 90 gauge thickness. These are film thicknesses, not sheet thicknesses.
22 gauge sheet metal is measured at .0313 inches or .794 millimeters. 22 gauge wire is measured as .028 inches in diameter or .711 millimeters.
24 gauge stainless steel is 0.0250 inches thick.
22 gauge steel is 0.794 mm thick (USG)
.1250 inches or 3.18 mm
19 gauge steel is 1.11 mm thick and 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
It depends on how thick of steel you're aiming to cut. But most job shops process steel with either laser cutting (for thin steel) or waterjet cutting (for up to 12" thick)... or machining.
.1406 inches or 3.57 mm thick. (USG)
11 ga stainless steel is 0.1250 inches thick
26 GA. steel is 0.0179 inches thick.
.1250 inches or 3.18 mm
11 ga
For steel siding with 1" deep corrugations at 4" o.c. approx. siding weight would be: 24 Ga. 1.36 PSF 22 Ga. 1.72 PSF 20 Ga. 2.05 PSF 18 Ga. 2.70 PSF
With a micrometer. Usually in terms of gauge, 22 ga steel is .0299 in thick, the actual thickness for different materials varies aluminum of the same gauge is somewhat thinner than steel, galvanized steel is a little thicker than plain steel of the same gauge. A micrometer is one way to measure it, there are gauge plates that have slots for each size.
what is the weight per square foot of 22 ga. corten?
The difference between 18 gauge and 22 gauge stainless steel is the thickness. The 18 gauge is 0.050" thick, and the 22 gauge is 0.031" thick. A link is provided below to an article with a list of the conversions. You'll note that the cited thickness for the gauges of stainless do not apply to galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, brass or other metals.
26-gauge steel is 0.0179" thick.
11 gauge steel is 0.125 inches thick.
Depends on what kind of steel: 18 Gauge Standard Steel is .0478 Inches. 18 Gauge Galvanized Steel is: 0.0516 inches thick. FYI 18 Gauge Aluminum is 0.0403 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick
19 gauge steel is 1.11 mm thick and 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
