Standard Metal Shapes and Sizes
Standard Metal Shapes and Sizes
(OP)
I need to get some reference material on material sizes and shapes like:
-sheet metal gauges
-standard square, rectangle and round tubing sizes
-angle iron and I-beams sizes
etc.
I need to know whats available so I can use standard off the self material.
Also, if anyone knows where I could get a material reference guide, with metal, plastics, ceramics etc. thats has approproate info like strength, wear and corrision.
Free material would be better, but not manditory.

You should also not only know the sizes available but also your company's standard sizes. If plate or sheet is normally 48"x120" don't release a part which won't fit the standard sheet unless it is absolutely necessary. Barstock length can also be an issue.

Ryerson is my local distributer and sadly my copy of their stock list 'evolved' (grew legs and walked away). Access to most of the same info is on their web site: htt
Just because something is listed in a "standard" stock list or material guide doesn't mean you can (A) get it without a special order or (B) be able to process something that size/shape. Always check with your manufacturing group and/or outside suppliers before doing anything "unusual" by your company's standards.

Another one I need is drill bit sizes and tap sizes, clearance sizes. Similar to the posters in a machine shop.
I've googled it but I'm not sure it the sources I'm getting are the right ones. Anybody have a more 'official' or trusted chart?
