14 gauge galvanized steel

14 gauge galvanized steel, or 14 Ga galvanized steel, is a type of steel that is coated with a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel to extend its life. Other commonly used grades are 20 gauge, 18 gauge, and 16 gauge. This format is commonly used in North America, and the thickness of steel under this standard is approximately 1.89738 mm (or approximated to 1.9 mm). Many of Wanzhi Steel’s galvanized coils, galvanized sheets, and ZAM steel use this grade. If you also need this or other grades of steel coils, steel strips, and steel sheets, please feel free to contact us.

What is 14 Gauge Galvanized Steel?

Defination: Galvanized Steel is produced by coating the surface of steel with a layer of zinc to improve its corrosion resistance and extend its service life.

14 gauge refers to the thickness specification for this type of steel.

 Features: The galvanized layer not only enhances the steel’s corrosion resistance but also gives it an aesthetic appearance.

Galvanized steel has the advantages of high strength, malleability, and durability, as well as being easy to work with and can be cut, bent, and welded into a variety of shapes and sizes.

Grades of galvanized steel sheets

The grade of galvanized steel sheet consists of five parts: product use code + steel code + steel properties + hot dip galvanizing code (D) + general coating amount code. More common grades: DX51D+Z, DX52D+Z, DC51D+Z, DC52D+Z, S350GD+Z and so on.

What is the best grade of steel?

There is no generalized best grade, as the mechanical properties and physical requirements of steel for a particular application vary, and price is also a factor.

Steel grades that are regularly used and deemed the top series from each type include:

Steel Type Grades
Carbon steel  A36, A529, A572, 1020, 1045, and 4130
Alloy steel 4140, 4150, 4340, 9310, and 52100
Stainless steel 304, 316, 410, and 420
Tool steel D2, H13, and M2

 The Origin of Gauge

Ga. is the abbreviation of GAUGE, a unit of length measurement about diameter originating in North America, belonging to the Brown-Sharpe (Brown&Sharpe) measurement system. At the beginning of 1869, JR Brown and L. Sharpe of the United States will develop an external diameter micrometer for commercial sale, the initial establishment of this measurement system. Initially used in the field of medicine and jewelry, the larger the number the smaller the diameter, and later promoted also used to indicate the thickness.

Conversion of gauge to millimeters: In the metal industry, gauge is commonly used to express the thickness of sheet metal, but it is important to note that the conversion between gauge and millimeters is not linear and may vary from material to material or standard to standard. For 14 gauge galvanized steel, the thickness is roughly between 1.6mm and 2.0mm, and the exact values can be found in the gauge table in 18 gauge galvanized steel.

If you want to know other Gauges of GI steel, please refer to 1. 《20 gauge galvanized steel》 2. 《16 gauge galvanized steel》.

Where is 14 gauge galvanized steel used?

  • Roofs, walls, doors and windows

14 gauge galvanized steel benefits

  • Good anti-corrosion properties: the galvanized layer can effectively prevent steel rust and corrosion.
  • Higher strength and stiffness: galvanized steel has good stiffness on the basis of maintaining the original strength of steel.
  • Ease of processing: galvanized steel can be shaped and processed through various processing techniques.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Compared with other anti-corrosion materials, galvanized steel is highly cost-effective.

Summary

When choosing and using 14 gauge galvanized steel as the base material, the content of the galvanized layer needs to be controlled, you can consult the manufacturer to get professional guidance, such as Wanzhi Steel in China, which is a gold-medal manufacturer established for 13 years. With a factory in Hebei province and a monthly production capacity of 2,000 tons.
