term used to designate thickness of a sheet of material usually expressed in mils or points, both being terms expressing thousandths of an inch (0 050 is expressed as 50 point usually for paper stocks; or 50 mils when plastics are designated by thickness)
(1) Thickness of paper or other substrate expressed in thousandths of an inch (mils or points), pages per inch (ppi), thousandths of a millimetre (microns) or pages per centimetre (ppc) (2) Device on a sheetfed press that detects double sheets or on a binding machine that detects missing signatures or inserts
The measurement of thickness of paper expressed in thousandths of an inch or mils
Caliper is the THICKNESS of the paper as measured in 1/1000's of an inch 10 point is 010 inches thick
(1) Thickness of paper or other substrate expressed in thousandths of an inch (mils or points), pages per inch (ppi), thousandths of a millimeter (microns) or pages per centimeter (ppc) (2) Device on a sheetfed press that detects double sheets or on a binding machine that detects missing signatures or inserts
Caliper, caliper points, or simply points, is a unit for measuring the thickness of paper One caliper point is equal to one one-thousandths of an inch Paperboards used in packaging generally vary between 10 and 24 (calpier) points
Calipers are devices consisting of metal rods held together by straps, which are used to support a person's legs when they cannot walk properly. Instrument that consists of two adjustable legs or jaws for measuring the dimensions of material parts. Spring calipers have an adjusting screw and nut; firm-joint calipers use friction at the joint to hold the legs unmoving. Outside calipers measure thicknesses and outside diameters of objects; inside calipers measure hole diameters and distances between surfaces. Hermaphrodite calipers, which have one leg bent inward and one straight leg ending in a sharp point, are used for scribing lines at a specified distance from a flat or curved surface. See also micrometer
Calipers are an instrument consisting of two long, thin pieces of metal joined together at one end, and are used to measure the size of things
Thickness of paper, measured in points (thousandths of an inch, not typographic points)
The thickness of a sheet of board, expressed in thousandths of an inch In the paper box industry, thousandths of an inch are referred to as "points "
a measurement of thickness of a sheet, or pile of sheets, expressed in thousandths of an inch (mils); also referred to as bulk
