I ask this question myself pretty often.
Which genius had the idea to measure a layer thickness in weight?
What is is? oz/sq feet, or sq inch, or whatever?
I have no idea at all ow much1 oz is.
Of course i can find out.


I really hate to annoy you but i also really hate the imperial units
system.
please try to at least write the complete unit if you need to use imperial
units.


the standard thicknesses in metric system are 18um, 35um and i think 72um.
which are micrometer, happenig to be 1m divided by 1000000 or 0,001mm
isn't that nice?


I wonder if i will live to the day when we finally all use 1 units system.
