Sheet or Plate
Sheet or Plate
(OP)
I think this is the best place to post this. Let me know if this should go into another forum. I was asked if there was a standard that stated material up to a certain thickness is call "sheet" and anything above that thickness is called "plate". I can not recall if there is a standard for this or not. Is this a company thing?

Your thicknesses may vary.

3/16 and above: plate
Any mtl spec I look at shows these numbers.

plate
A flat-rolled metal product of some minimum thickness and width arbitrarily dependent on the type of metal. Plate thicknesses commonly range from 6 to 300 mm (0.25 to 12 in.); widths from 200 to 2000 mm (8 to 80 in.).
sheet
A flat-rolled metal product of some maximum thickness and minimum width arbitrarily dependent on the type of metal. It has a width-to-thickness ratio greater than about 50. Generally, such flat products under 6.5 mm (1/4 in.) thick are called sheets, and those 6.5 mm (1/4 in.) thick and over are called plates.
