Aluminum sheet metal gauge tolerance.

The tolerances in the table and attachments reflect current manufacturing practices and commercial standards and are not representative of the manufacturer s standard gauge which has no inherent tolerances. Super thick sheets mm. Sheet metal guage tolerances. Processing may include polishing or the applying of protective plastics which will decrease or increase a sheet s thickness respectively.

During the rolling process the rollers bow slightly which results in the sheets being thinner on the edges. Conversion data chart standard gauges chart gauge tolerance chart useful data page. Because of the varying thicknesses a gauge chart should be used to ensure the metal meets the required dimensions. History of the gauge system the gauge system has long history in metal fabrication.
