Jiga helps you source high-quality, cost-competitive custom parts faster by partnering directly with vetted manufacturers.

In an industry where competitors often act as mere middlemen, Jiga truly stands out by empowering buyers. Their platform enhances communication with suppliers, streamlining the entire process. The easy payment system simplifies interactions with overseas vendors, eliminating the hassle of dealing with international transactions. I’ve found such value in Jiga that I’ve recommended it to all my colleagues in manufacturing.

Sheet metal gauge (or gage) numbers refer to the thickness of sheet metal. This thickness is measured in either mm or in thousandths of an inch (in). The higher the gauge, the thinner the sheet metal (except for Zinc).

The gauge size for each type of material differs and is determined by weight.

Common Sheet Metal Gauge Standards

Manufacturers’ Standard Gage – for standard steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel

The American Wire Gage (AWG) or Brown and Sharpe Gage – for non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and brass.

Birmingham Gage (BG) – for a variety of metals

Standard Gauge for Zinc

The following charts shows the various gauge sizes of the common engineering materials, and their measurements in metric and imperial.

"Hands-Down the Best Platform and Partner for Fast, Quality Parts"

I am continually impressed not just by the parts we have received but the incredible level of support. Our team has received 100s of parts, all at an incredible price. Because you have a direct line of communication with the teams making the parts, there is an added level of ownership that you don’t see with other platforms. We are actively switching to have more parts made on Jiga to further drive down costs and have reliable delivery dates.

Jiga is the best way to get the parts you need, when you need them.
