What is the R-Value of steel sheet metal?

The R-value of steel sheet metal is relatively low, usually ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 per inch. This means that steel sheet metal is not a very effective insulator and does not provide much resistance to heat transfer. Additional insulation such as foam or other materials is typically needed to improve the thermal efficiency of structures made from steel sheet metal.

Which hardness tests and scales would you use for very thin strips of metal?

For very thin strips of metal, common hardness tests include Vickers, Knoop, and Rockwell scales. These tests can accurately measure the hardness of thin materials without significantly altering their integrity. The Vickers scale, in particular, is often preferred for its ability to provide precise hardness readings on small, delicate samples.
