The outer thickness of a stone measured from the back to the front (face) of the stone.

The dimension between two surfaces of an object, usually the dimension of smallest measure.

see caliper

The thickness of a melanoma--how deep the tumor extends into the skin generally measured in millimeters (mm).

Measurement of the distance between the dorsal and ventral surfaces of a flake.

The dimension representing a cross section of a piece of paper, vinyl, or wood veneer.

the dimension through an object as opposed to its length or width

Thickness of cross-section of test specimen in mm or inches..

Measurement given in millimetres. (Excludes release paper where applicable).

The surface-to-surface dimension of the glass.

The distance from the bearing surface to the top surface measured parallel to the axis of the part. Thread Fit A alphanumeric designation used to identify the extreme permissible limits of the pitch diameter. Standard thread fits for Industrial Nut Corp. would be '2B' for inch threads and '6H' for metric threads.

The dimension of a board measured from face to face.

A surfboard's dimension as measured from the deck to the bottom of the board.

The distance between the two surfaces of a paper or filmic material, measured under specified conditions.

Measurement in thousandths of an inch.

As lumber, expressed in quarters of an inch. 4/4=1", 5/4=1 1/4", 8/4=2", etc. When surfaced two sides 4/4 must yield at least 13/16", 5/4 yield is 1 1/16", 8/4 yield is 1 3/4", etc.

The metric measurement of a brilliant cut gemstone that is measured from the stone's top table to its bottom culet.

The thickness of a single piece of paper, as measured in thousandths of an inch, called "caliper." Thickness measurements define the bulkiness of a sheet of paper.

Also known as caliper, this is the thickness of a single sheet of paper, as measured in thousandths of an inch. Thickness defines the bulkiness of a sheet.

Measured in fractions of an inch. The thicker the fabric the more resin required to fill the weave to obtain a smooth finished part.

No, this doesn't refer to the hapless person who has no idea how to control a printer or copier. Paper thickness is important when it comes to things like stiffness and feeding. A bulky paper is one with high thickness – important properties.

The dimension of a masonry unit at right angles to the face of the wall, floor, or other assembly in which the units are used.

Bulk or caliper

Paper is a tri-dimensional material and thickness is the third dimension. This property is important for paper feeling as well as for its stiffness. A bulky paper is a paper with a high thickness (for a given fixed basis weight).

The vertical dimension of a wing. (Compare with span and chord.)

Caliper. Distance from one surface of either a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other, usually expressed in mils or thousands of an inch. This is usually measured under slight pressure with a special gauge.

Thickness is typically measured with a gauge called a micrometer and usually expressed as microns or mils. A micron is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter and a mil is a unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch or 0.0254 millimeter.

(THKN) -- Height difference between two pressure surfaces; corresponds to the temperature in that layer of the atmosphere.

The vertical distance between two levels of constant pressure. The greater the average temperature of the layer, the "thicker" it is.

The thickness of a layer in the atmosphere is proportional to the mean temperature of that whole layer. The layer most often used in meteorology is between 1000 and 500 millibars. There can be different temperature profiles in the lowest layer of the atmosphere with the same 1000-500 millibar thickness value, depending on what is happening above that lowest layer. For example, if the lower levels are warming but higher levels are cooling, the overall mean temperature, the thickness, could remain the same. Likewise, on a sunny day, the amount of incoming solar radiation, affects the temperature right at the earth's surface, without necessarily having much effect on the thickness of the whole layer.

The term used for the depth of a layer of air (often the layer between 1,000 and 500 mbar). The thickness varies with the temperature: warm air expands so its thickness is greater than for colder, denser column.

Thickness usually refers to the depth of the 1000-500 hPa layer in the atmosphere. However charts are also produced for thicknesses of other layers in the atmosphere as well. The thickness gives an indication of the mean temperature within a layer; lower thicknesses indicate colder air, higher thicknesses warmer air.

In synoptic meteorology, the vertical depth, measured in geometric or geopotential units, of a layer in the atmosphere bounded by surfaces of two different values of the same physical quantity, usually constant-pressure surfaces. See thickness chart.
