Conversion Chart for Gauge to mil

Post by Nancy Juhasz »

Hi I am looking for a conversion chart to convert copper foil gauge to mil. Nimrod Hall sells by mil, I have some copper that is 40 ga. I am at a loss as to how to find my answer. I read the archives no help, so did a search on the internet nothing. I thought this would be a simple thing to find. Thanks, Nanc

I just checked my conversion chart, and it only goes to 34 gauge, which is .0063 inches or .16 mm. If you check jewelry suppliers, you might be able to find out. Or also, try searching the web for "Brown & Sharpe Gauge conversion", rather than just gauge conversion.

Thanks Larry, I just knew someone would have the information I needed. Where did you find the chart. I looked for well over an hour. Guess I didn't know what to look for. Nanc
