SS Sheet Gauge

SS sheet gauge is a traditional but widely used system for defining stainless steel sheet thickness. It is especially common in fabrication and industrial design where quick identification is needed.

Key takeaways:

Gauge indicates thickness (higher number = thinner sheet)
18–20 gauge is most common for general stainless steel fabrication
Millimeter measurement is more precise and widely used in international trade
Gauge is mainly used for cold rolled stainless steel sheets

설명

SS sheet gauge refers to the standardized system used to describe the thickness of stainless steel sheets (SS sheets). Unlike metric measurement (mm), gauge is an older industrial unit widely used in metal fabrication, 조작, and procurement.

The key point is:

Higher gauge number = thinner sheet
Lower gauge number = thicker sheet

하지만, gauge values are not perfectly linear and can vary slightly by standard system (US gauge is most commonly used in global stainless steel trade).
