What is the standard thickness for metal foil?
Foil is generally defined as being 0.005 inches or less in thickness. Some foil producers also produce precision sheet and strip, which are materials between 0.015 and 0.005 inches in thickness.
Which insulates heat the most paper cotton or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.
Which holds more weight Plastic or Aluminum foil?
Aliminium (I think)
Is aluminum foil a conductor?
Aluminium conducts electricity about the same as copper, maybe a very small amount less and about five times better than iron if all three metals were of the same thickness and temperature.Conductivity also relies on cross sectional area. That means that thicker wires conduct electricity better than thinner ones. The trouble with foil is that it is thin. It will conduct the electricity but, if it is left as a single layer, it will heat and may burn (yes, metals burn).If you break the battery contacts in a flashlight (torch) then fold up some aluminum foil and stuff it between the battery and the metal contact. My remote for the TV worked on this principal for years when I was at university.Aluminium foil conducts electricity well.
Who created aluminum?
Depending on your religious background, either God created aluminum or nothing/nobody did. It's naturally occurring and the most common metal in the earth's crust. Unfortunately, it's never found as the free metal as it reacts readily with other chemicals in the earth. It's most commonly found in the ore called bauxite. If you mean, "who coined the name aluminum as a pure form of the metal?", then Humphry Davy did this in 1808. By the way, I'm British, so I really do spell aluminum this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That above answer is incorrect the metal foil has been around for centuries. Foil is solid metal that has been reduced to a leaf-like thinness by beating or rolling. The first mass-produced and widely-used foil was made from tin. Tin was later replaced by aluminum in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen." was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons (aluminum manufacturers) started in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls - capturing the falls' energy to produce aluminum. Neher's sons together with Dr. Lauber discovered the endless rolling process and the use of aluminum foil as a protective barrier. From there began the wide use of aluminum foil in the packaging of chocolate bars and tobacco products. Processes evolved over time to include the use of print, color, lacquer, laminate and the embossing of the aluminum.Reference: http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/FamousInvention.htm
Thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil compared to regular aluminum foil?
The density of the foils is the same. They are both pure aluminum, and they each have the same weight per unit volume (density). But the thicker "heavy duty" foil will weigh more for a given area of foil removed from a roll. This makes sense because the heavy duty foil is thicher, and something like, say, as square foot of this heavy duty foil will outweigh a square foot of "regular" foil.
What is the thickness of aluminum foil?
The thickness of aluminum foil is 6 microns, or 0.000234 inches.
Which materials would be the most appropriate representation of the lithosphere?
several pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil
What is the thickness of regular aluminum foil?
.0001m
How many atoms thick is aluminum foil?
Depending on the thickness of the foil.
What is the way to find the volume of aluminum foil?
Length X Width X Thickness. A sheet of aluminum foil does have a thickness. A typical sheet has a thickness of about 0.02 millimeters. There are, of course, thicker and thinner sheets.
What thickness in an aluminum can made out of?
bottle tops or the bottle itself can foil
What is difference between sheet and plate and foil?
Extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf. The aluminum foil is a solid sheet of aluminum (or alloy rolled to a thickness of 0.0059inches or less). At a thickness of 0.006inches or more it is referred as sheet and thickness more than 6 mm (0.25 in) is considered as plate.

What are 4 physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil?
Malleable, brittle, ductile
Does foil conduct electricity?
If it's a metallic foil, it will conduct electricity in most cases. Aluminum, copper, gold, etc.
What is the thickness of aluminum foil in cm?
Depending on the manufacturing procees; aluminium is very malleable.
