The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.
Thickness of plastic sheeting gauges.
Counters carpeting floors hardwood tile bath tubs c a films.
A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
It is free and easy to use courtesy of solvetech thickness gauging.
For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0.
200mu 800 gauge 0 20mm polythene thickness is sometimes also measured in mil.
Gauge thickness conversion chart and calculator for plastic film.
Plastic gauge thickness chart plastic film sheet thickness gauge conversion.
Gauges are neither standard nor metric and the values are independent of those measurement systems.
Plastic film and sheet thickness is expressed in a number of different formats all related to length.
So the calculation formulas for plastic gauge are as below.
Note that the term heavy gauge plastic is not to be confused with heavy mil referring to heavy plastic sheeting.
Gauges are used to specify the thickness of a sheet metal.
For example additives added to the plastic such as the fire retardant additive may play a more significant role than the thickness of the plastic if the job requires fr flame retardant plastic.
Here is a chart and a calculator to help you move between the units.
A mil is 1000 times of an inch the gauge is 100 x mils to go from mils to microns you multiply mils x 25 4.
And the thickness in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the micron by 1000.
Economical light duty protection for indoor painting covering equipment pallets furniture during painting.
1 mil is a measurement unit that equals 0 001 inch which is about the width of an average human hair.
In addition to the material composition plastic sheeting also comes in a wide range of thickness.
In the english measurement system we use inches in decimals and gauge so a sheet of 005 thick material is also 500 gauge.
100mu 400 gauge 0 10mm.
There are 1000um in a mm.
This thickness is indicated as mil thousandth of an inch.

The thickness of plastic film is often expressed in gauge mils and microns.
The conversion relationship between these thickness units is.
