Convert Gauge to mm
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Which gauge? There are different gauges for different materials. What are you measuring?

I have a chart of a few of them.
GAUGE (ga) - THICKNESS (inches)
8 - .1644
9 - .1494
10 - .1345
11 - .1196
12 - .1046
14 - .0747
16 - .0598
18 - .0478
1 mm = 0.0393700787402 inches
so now you can make conversions.

Again, you have to know the material in question and what gauge standard you're using.
Use wire as an example. All figures are for 8 gauge wire:
American Wire (Brown & Sharpe) Gauge = 0.1285 in = 3.2639 mm
US Steel Wire Gauge = 0.162 in = 4.1148 mm
British Standard (Imperial) Wire Gauge = 0.16 in = 4.064 mm
Music (Piano) Wire Gauge = 0.02 in = 0.508 mm
Birmingham (Stub's Iron) Wire Gauge = 0.165 in = 4.191 mm
Stub's Steel Wire Gauge = 0.197 in = 5.0038 mm
The gauge you used is probably for "Standard Steel Thickness", but this doesn't apply to stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum or most alloys. Certainly doesn't apply to wire.
One HAS to know the material AND the gauge standard used.
