Aluminum gauge, commonly referred to as the “kipimo” ya alumini, 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, ikiwemo ujenzi, viwanda, 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. Conversely, lower gauge numbers indicate thicker aluminum material. Kwa mfano:
12 gauge aluminum is thicker than 16 alumini ya kupima.
18 gauge aluminum is thinner than 14 alumini ya kupima.

What is the thickness indicated by the aluminum gauge? Take a 12 karatasi ya alumini ya kupima kama mfano. How many inches is 12 alumini ya kupima?
Unene wa 12 gauge aluminum plate is approximately 0.0808 inchi au 2.05 mm.
