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.

Weight of  regular size 6 gauge aluminum sheets

Common sizes of 6 gauge aluminum sheet are 4’x8′, 4’x4′, 4’x10′, 5’x10′, 1000x2000mm.

According to the above calculation method of unit area, we can get the weight chart of each common specification in detail

Weight Chart for Regular Size 6 Gauge Aluminum Sheet

Weight(kg) 33.05 16.5 41.2 51.6 22.24
Remarks: The data in this table provides an approximate data and is not precise enough. In fact, the density of different alloys is different, for reference only.

Alloys, tempers and finishes of 6 gauge aluminum sheet

Alloys:

The thickness of 6 gauge aluminum is a little more than 4mm, so it is very close to the characteristics of 4mm aluminum sheet

Different series of aluminum plates can be rolled to a thickness of about 4mm by rolling mills, such as 1060 aluminum plate, 1070 aluminum plate, 3003 aluminum plate, 5052 aluminum plate, 5754 aluminum plate, 6061 aluminum plate, etc., all of them can be processed to the above thickness.

tempers

Including F, O, H12, H14, H16, H18, H19, H22, H24, H26, H28, H32, H34, H36, H38, H111, H112, H114, etc.

Different tempers represent different hardness, you can choose according to your needs

Surface treatment:

Decorative powder coating, anodizing, polishing, brushing, perforating, printing.
