A 2.0 mil thickness is equivalent to 0.002 inches or 0.05 millimeters. Visually, it can be difficult to discern, as it is quite thin, similar to the thickness of a standard credit card or a sheet of plastic wrap. It's often used in materials like plastic sheeting, bags, or coatings, providing a lightweight yet durable option for various applications. In practical use, it offers some protection without adding significant bulk.
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.
To compare thicknesses, 20 mil is equivalent to 20 thousandths of an inch, while 13 pt (points) is equivalent to 13/72 of an inch, which is approximately 0.1806 inches or 18 mil. Therefore, 20 mil is thicker than 13 pt.
"Plaque OR g 20 microns" likely refers to the thickness of the gold plating on the clock. The term "20 microns" specifies the thickness of the gold layer, which is a common measurement unit for plating thickness. The "OR" indicates that the gold plating could be either a layer of gold (plaque) or a certain grade (g) of gold, with 20 microns being the thickness in either case.
An object with a thickness of one inch is roughly equivalent to the width of a standard adult thumb. It appears relatively substantial but is still manageable to hold or manipulate. For context, common items like a thick paperback book or a stack of about 20 sheets of standard printer paper can serve as visual references for this measurement.
One way is to do 20 mil, but that might confuse people into thinking 20 thousand.
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.
Gauge and mil refer to the thickness of the liner. To find the thickness when listed by gauge ask for the type of material and check for the converted value ( ie a 10 gauge liner may equate to perhaps a 0.14 inch thickness material , 8 gauge may be 0.12 inches etc ) The mil value usually refers to a millimeter thickness (ie 15 mil should be thicker than a 10 mil ) >KEEP IN MIND THAT THE MIL NUMBER IS NOT IN INCHES , so make sure what the mil value is given in millimeters or inches then you can compare the different thicknesses. If the pool dealer doesnt know the difference you may want to find another dealer
20 mil is better, I guess.
Gauge is the equivalent of a "mil" which is "thousandths" of an inch.Hence, a 20-gauge pool liner would be 20-mil which is 20 thousandths of an inch or 0.020" = 0.02 inches. A 30-gauge liner would be 30-mils or 0.03 inches....Answermost above ground pools are 20 mil and in ground liners are usually 30 mil
In Canada Inground liners are called 30 mil. The standard, much like a 2X4 peice of wood, is cheated to 28 mil but some manufacturers cheat more, 27 mil isn't uncommon and in some cases I've seen 25 mil. In the US most ingorund is sold as 20 mil and is actually 20 with little cheating (from what I know but I'm in Canada) Abovegound is worse. It's called 20 mil, some label the liners with their warenty (at 25 years) but make it sound like that's the thickness. What most liners are is actually a max of 16 mil. It's been a long time since I've seen one thicker then that. A lot of liners are 14 mil, I've seen imported liners as low as 12 mil sold as 20. When trying to compare aboveground liners, the easiest was to compare is to ask the weight of the liner.
29 mil.

One mil is a thousandth of an inch, 20 mils would be a 50th of an inch.
10 mil for first 1. 20 mil for 2nd. and 55.2 mil for 3rd.
20 mil
According to Answers.com, a mil is: "A unit of length equal to one thousandth (10-3) of an inch (0.0254 millimeter), used, for example, to specify the diameter of wire or the thickness of materials sold in sheets." So; 20 mil = 20 thousandths of an inch = 0.020 inches Or; 20 x 0.0254 millimeters = 0.508 millimeters = 0.05 cm But... According to another source there is more to the story: "All papers are measured in two ways. One is referred to as the paper weight, the other is the actual thickness of the paper. Paper weight is generally measured in 'grams per square meter' (gsm). Paper thickness is measured in 'mils' which is short for thousandths of an inch. Paper weight and paper thickness often go hand in hand, BUT because some papers are denser than others they may be heavier than a similar thickness paper. For example, two manufacturers may list a weight of 300gsm, but the papers may have a different thickness because they have different densities. Paper thickness is generally listed as 10mil or 15.5mil and this is equivalent to .010 inches or .0155 inches respectively. To give this some perspective, a human hair is only 2 mils. This is measured with a digital micrometer." This from: http://support.colorvision.ch/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=178
