The number of wraps will act as a gauge to assess the thickness of unmarked yarn; for example 12 wraps per inch is 12 WPI, and is used to calculate how much yarn is required for various articles, [3] so that 12 is equivalent to 8 ply (worsted weight, medium weight) yarn.
Chiffon—6 to 8 mm (can be made in double thickness, i.e. 12 to 16 mm) Crepe de Chine—12 to 16 mm; Gauze—3 to 5 mm; Raw silk—35 to 40 mm (heavier silks appear more "wooly") Organza—4 to 6 mm; Charmeuse—12 to 30 mm; The higher the weight in mommes, the more durable the weave and the more suitable it is for heavy-duty use.
It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.
15 mm +.1/-0.9; 18 mm +.12/-0.98; 22 mm +.16/-1.08; 25 mm +1.8/-1.16 From the above we can assume that 6 mm material will arrive at thickness' between 6.04 mm and 5.35 mm. Face Veneer thickness -- For any three-ply construction, which applies to 3 and 4 mm material, each face veneer shall be not thinner than 1/8 of the total thickness of ...

It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness. High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required. The dimensional analysis yields units of distance squared per time squared.
Weighing scale to determine paper weight. Paper density is a paper product's mass per unit volume.The density can be calculated by dividing the grammage of paper (in grams per square metre or "gsm") by its caliper (usually in micrometres, occasionally in mils).
So, the 17-by-22-inch (432 by 559 mm) ream became commonly used. The 25-by-38-inch (635 by 965 mm) book-paper ream developed because such a size can easily be cut into sixteen 6-by-9-inch (152 by 229 mm) book sized sheets without significant waste (nominally 6 + 1 ⁄ 4-by-9 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (159 by 241 mm) before trimming and binding).
