Aluminium meter, commonly referred to as the “graadmeter” van aluminium, is a measurement of the thickness or diameter of aluminum sheet or wire. It is a common method of specifying the thickness of aluminum materials and is used in a variety of industries, inclusief constructie, productie, and metalworking.

In the United States, aluminum specifications are usually expressed in numerical values, ranging from lower numbers to higher numbers. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the aluminum sheet or wire. Omgekeerd, lower gauge numbers indicate thicker aluminum material. Bijvoorbeeld:
12 gauge aluminum is thicker than 16 maat aluminium.
18 gauge aluminum is thinner than 14 maat aluminium.

What is the thickness indicated by the aluminum gauge? Take a 12 aluminiumplaat als voorbeeld. How many inches is 12 maat aluminium?
De dikte van 12 gauge aluminum plate is approximately 0.0808 inch of 2.05 mm.
