Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Plastic sheet thickness conversion

Postby jrichardson » Wed Nov 19, 2008 1:10 am

I am interested in a plastic product about the size of an automobile license plate, found in a catalog that states a thickness of".55 gauge" Can anyone give me a formula to convert this number to inches (or even millimeters would help)
Thanks in advance.

I found a conversion (mm/ gauge) for sheet metal (ferrous and nonferrous) but I can't seem to find a way to convert plastic thicknesses between "mil", "mm" and "gauge". Each brand seems to use their own unit - making it impossible to compare. Your help would be most appreciated.JMK Design
