They might use the wrong metal s gauge chart or pick an obsolete standard when labeling a sheet of material.
Brass sheet metal thickness.
Brass sheet products are a soft ductile metal that brazes cuts and machines easily.
0 1mm to 6mm width.

Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
Keep in mind that some manufacturers distributors and end users get the gauge thickness wrong.
If you re having trouble picking out a thickness take a look at our page on deciding on a material thickness.
Our brass sheets.
The table below provides conversion to inches.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
For other materials such as aluminum and brass the thicknesses will be different.
260 brass sheet plate aka cartridge brass or yellow brass is the most popular and economical of the brass alloys.
This is known as the manufacturers standard gage for sheet steel.
Wire conductor sizes are also measured in gauge and are equivalent to the non ferrous thicknesses listed below but we have an article specific to wire gauge.
Samples of our brass sheet metal are available usually free of charge to designers architects and businesses.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter.
Sheet metal gauge size chart gauge or gage sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece of sheet metal with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet.
The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
