Product Details
10 gauge 304 stainless steel sheet refers to a stainless steel plate made from AISI 304 stainless steel with a thickness of approximately 10 gauge (about 3.0 mm / 0.119 inch). It is widely used in industrial fabrication, construction, and engineering applications where strength and durability are required.
This thickness provides a balanced performance between strength, rigidity, and fabrication convenience, making it suitable for structural and medium-duty applications.
What Is 10 Gauge Stainless Steel Sheet?
Gauge is a thickness measurement system commonly used in North America. For stainless steel:
- 10 gauge ≈ 3.0 mm
- 10 gauge ≈ 0.119 inch
Compared with thinner sheets, 10 gauge stainless steel provides significantly higher strength while still allowing cutting, bending, and welding.
Common Standard Sizes
10 gauge stainless steel sheets are typically supplied in standard industrial formats:
| Thickness | Width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 10 gauge (≈3.0 mm) | 1000 mm | 2000 mm |
| 10 gauge (≈3.0 mm) | 1219 mm (4 ft) | 2438 mm (8 ft) |
| 10 gauge (≈3.0 mm) | 1500 mm | 3000 mm |
| 10 gauge (≈3.0 mm) | 1524 mm (5 ft) | 3048 mm (10 ft) |
Custom cutting is available based on project requirements for different industries and applications.
