When talking about plastic liners, it is important to learn how to convert microns to mils. Some basic formulas for doing this can be found in the table below:
Microns to Mils formulas are crucial for today's plastic liners.
Microns to Mils Table
| 6 = 0.23 | 7 = 0.27 | 8 = 0.31 | 9 = 0.35 |
| 10 = 0.39 | 11 = 0.43 | 12 = 0.47 | 13 = 0.51 |
| 14 = 0.55 | 15 = 0.59 | 16 = 0.62 | 17 = 0.66 |
| 18 = 0.70 | 19 = 0.74 | 20 = 0.78 | 21 = 0.82 |
| 22 = 0.86 | 23 = 0.90 | 24 = 0.94 | 25 = 0.98 |
Microns to Mils Formula
Divide the microns by 25.4 to arrive at Mil thickness.
Example:
10 Microns / 25.4 = .39 Mil
24 Microns / 25.4 = .94 Mil
Mils to Microns Formula
Multiply the mils by 25.4 to arrive at mil thickness.
Example:
1 Mil = 25.4 Microns.
30 Mil x 25.4 = 7.6 Microns.
65 Mil x 25.4 = 16.5 Microns
