The formula to calculate the thickness in inches from the gauge number is:
\[ T = \frac{G}{39.37} \]
Where:
Gauge to inches is a conversion method used to convert the thickness of a material measured in gauge number to inches. This is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing and construction, where materials like sheet metal, wire, or pipes are often measured in gauges. The gauge number and thickness in inches are inversely related, meaning a higher gauge number indicates a thinner material.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula to calculate the thickness in inches:
\[ T = \frac{20}{39.37} \approx 0.508 \text{ inches} \]
The thickness is approximately 0.508 inches.
