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!

∙ 15y agoOne "mil" is a thousandth of an inch. So two thousandths of a inch!

∙ 15y agoA 'mil' is one-thousandth of an inch, so 4 mils = 4/1000 of an inch

0.051 millimeters thick
how thick is .31 of an inch.
1 mil is equal to .001 inches
22 mil = 0.87 inch
A "mil" is a 1/1000 of an inch. So 6 mil is equal to 0.006 inches.
There is slightly more than 25 millimetres in an inch, so 75 millimetres = 3 inches approx. <><><><><> Most times, the mil is a unit of thickness in thousandths of an inch, so 75 mil is 0.075 inches thick. Depending on what you are looking at, 75 mil is quite thick. For instance, a typical plastic garbage bag might only be 1 or 2 mils thick.
A 16 mil plastic is approximately 0.016 inches thick. It is commonly used for heavy-duty applications that require extra durability and strength.

A mil is 1/1000 of an inch or .001. 15 mils is .015"
