How thick is 6 gauge aluminum sheet?

Home » Blog » How thick is 6 gauge aluminum sheet?

The thickness of 6 gauge aluminum sheet is 4.1148mm. So, its thickness, performance and application are very similar to 4mm aluminum sheet/plate.

What is the thickness of 6 gauge aluminum sheet

Gauge is a unit that describes the thickness of metal independently of other measuring systems. We can easily know the thickness corresponding to 6 gauge aluminum sheet by querying the sheet metal gauge.

Aluminium 6 Gauge to mm

The thickness of 6 gauge aluminum is 4.1148mm.

So, its thickness, performance and application are very similar to 4mm aluminum sheet/plate.

Aluminium 6 Gauge to inch

The thickness of 6 gauge aluminum sheet corresponds to 0.162 inches

How to calculate the weight of 6 gauge aluminum per unit area?

The density of aluminum is about 2700kg/m3.

Volume of 6 gauge aluminium per unit area = length x width x height = 1mx1mx0.0041148m=0.004118 m3.

So, the weight of 6 gauge aluminum per unit area = volume x density = 11.12kg.
