Why is 10 gauge shower curtain heavier than a 6 gauge but sheet metal and wire it is the other way around?
The sizes of wire and sheet metal are not based on thickness or weight, but the number of times that the metal has to be drawn through the process to make it any given thickness. The higher the number the more often it has had to be drawn to make it thinner, so "1 gauge" is the original rod "10 gauge" is the same rod after being drawn 10 times. The sizes of plastics are measured using a micrometer, so the sizes are thicker 1 mil = 1/1000 inch = 25.4 micron = 100 gauge.
What is thicker 20 lb paper or 4.7 mil paper?
4.7 mil paper is thicker than 20 lb paper. Mil is a unit of measurement used to describe the thickness of paper, with 1 mil equal to 0.001 inches. Therefore, 4.7 mil paper would be approximately 4.7 times thicker than 20 lb paper.
How many cc in half a mil?
A cc (cubic centimeter) is the same as Mil, or milliliter, or Ml. Thus 1/2 of one would be 1/2 of the other.
How can the resistance of a conductor be determined?
Assuming copper conductor at 20 degrees celcius, you can use a chart to determine the resistance of a length of conductor. You must know it's size (AWG, for American wire gauge) and the look up the resistance per 1000 feet from any table. For a specific length of conductor, you just multiply the table's value by the proportion of 1000 feet that's actually the lenght of the conductor: table's resistance value x length in feet/1000 feet. For other temperatures or materials (i.e., aluminum), you must use a different formula: Rc = (K x L)/cmil where Rc = conductor resistance, K = "K factor" (see below), L = length of conductor and cmil is the cross sectional area of the conductor in circular mils (see the same chart referred to above). The K factor for different materials is Copper: 10.8@25OC, 11.8@50OC and 12.9@75OC Aluminum: 17.0@25OC, 19.0@50OC, 21.2@75OC The K factor is the resistance of one circular mil-foot (cmil-foot) of the material. A mil is 0.001" and a circular mil is a circle 1 mil in diameter. A circular mil-foot is a length of the material 1 circular mil in cross-sectional area and 1 foot long. The cmil value of a given wire gauge is the cross-sectional area in circular mils.
What is the Bulk modulus of oil MIL-L-23699?
The bulk modulus of oil can vary based on factors such as temperature and pressure. However, for oil meeting the MIL-L-23699 specification, the typical bulk modulus is around 1.8-2.0 GPa.
What is the mil measurement of the thickness of the plastic sheet?
The mil measurement of the thickness of the plastic sheet is 1/1000th of an inch.
What are the different terms for the thickness of something?
Gauge is the term that comes to mind, such as 12 gauge (ga.) wire. With plastic bags, one might use mil, such as a 3 mil garbage bag. "Mil" indicates thousandths of an inch.
What gauge is 68 mil?
A thickness of 68 mil is equivalent to 0.068 inches. In terms of gauge, this measurement falls around 16 gauge in the standard gauge conversion for metal thickness, although variations can occur depending on the material being measured. Generally, mil is a term used primarily in the context of plastic sheeting and other materials, where 1 mil equals 1/1000 of an inch.
What gauge is 4 mil?
A thickness of 4 mil is equivalent to 0.004 inches or 0.1 millimeters. In terms of gauge, 4 mil is typically associated with a thickness of around 10 gauge in plastics, though this can vary depending on the material being measured. It's commonly used in applications such as plastic sheeting, bags, and protective covers.
What is the equivalent gauge of 18 mil?
The equivalent gauge of 18 mil is approximately 20 gauge. In general, mil is a measurement of thickness equal to one-thousandth of an inch, while gauge is a standard measurement used for various materials, including metal and plastic. The conversion between mils and gauge can vary depending on the material being measured.
When measuring vinyl thickness are Gauge and Mil the same?
no
How thick is 28 gauge?
If you are referring to wire thickness according to American Wire Gauge, 12.6 mil or 321 microns.
How can I accurately measure mil thickness?
To accurately measure mil thickness, use a micrometer or a mil gauge tool. Place the tool on the material and apply pressure to get a reading in mils. Make sure to measure at multiple points for accuracy.
What is the difference between Mil and Gauge thickness in pool liners?
See this link: http://www.backyardcitypools.com/vinyl-pool-liners/Mil-Vs-Gauge.htm
What is the abbreviation 'mil' referring to when in reference to enviro liners?
'Mil' is an abbreviation for 'millimeter' when referring to the thickness of environmental liners. It is used to measure the gauge or thickness of the liner, with a higher mil indicating a thicker liner that offers more protection against leaks or punctures.
What does it mean by PVC gauge?
PVC gauge is the thickness of the PVC material: 1 gauge = 1/100 mil = 1/100,000 inch = 25.4/100000 millimetre = 0.254 micrometre
How thick is 110 mil?
A thickness of 110 mil is equivalent to 0.110 inches or approximately 2.79 millimeters. The term "mil" refers to a thousandth of an inch, so 110 mil means 110 thousandths of an inch. This measurement is often used in contexts like plastic sheeting, coatings, and other materials where precise thickness is important.
