Enclosure sheet thickness depends on material properties product size weight constraints and loads acting on it.
Density of sheet metal.
Sheet metal materials are available in standard sheet thickness.
Structural simulation or manual calculations are recommended to calculate required sheet thickness.

Manufacturers standard gauge for sheet steel is based on an average density of 41 82 lb per square foot per inch thick equivalent to 501 84 pounds per cubic foot 8 038 7 kg m 3.
Gauge is defined differently for ferrous iron based and non ferrous metals e g.
The table below lists out the density values of common metals and alloys including iron carbon steel steel wire alloy steel bearing steel stainless steel copper brass bronze aluminum magnesium nickel zinc lead etc.
The density of some common metals metallic elements and alloys are indicated in the table below.
