How thick is 2 mil?

Answer 1

1/1000 inch sorry this is so wrong!

1 inch is 2.5 centimetres. 1cm=10mil. So.....1 inch is 25mm. 1mil = 1/25 0f an inch

*sigh* a "mil" is NOT a "millimetre"! your statement "1cm=10mil." is absolutely incorrect! 1cm = 10 mm

a "mil" IS exactly one one-thousandth [1/1000] of an inch. this is commonly used to measure thickness. check your common, everyday, household trash bags. they'll say they're a "strong, X mils thick!" or some such, right on the box. the X is number of mils, which aren't as many as you might think!

here, for example, are some thicknesses of a popular brand of household trash bag:

13 gallon Tall Kitchen Bags: .90 mil

30 gallon Trash Bags: 1.1 mil

33 gallon Large Trash Bags: 1.1 mil

39 gallon Lawn & Leaf Bags: 1.1 mil

as you can see, if 1 mil was equal 1/25th of an inch, plastic bags would be pretty thick. about as thick as a paper plate, if you think about it. there are approximately 25 of them, per inch. I'm referring to the typical thin, flat white paper plates that we buy for cheap at the dollar store, use once and throw away. and trash bags are nowhere near that thick!

Answer 2

One "mil" is a thousandth of an inch. So two thousandths of a inch!

Answer 3

A 'mil' is one-thousandth of an inch, so 4 mils = 4/1000 of an inch

Answer 4

0.051 millimeters thick
