Compared with nearby thicknesses
The nearest standard inch thickness is 1/8 in (3.18 mm, 24.92 kg/m²). Plate this thin is usually sold as sheet and used for covers, cladding, ducting, panels and light brackets.
Hot-rolled plate is made to a thickness tolerance (EN 10029 in Europe, ASTM A6 in the US). These tolerances allow more over-thickness than under-thickness, so weighbridge weights can come out a little above the theoretical weight.
