How to Measure

box

 
 
Example:
A: Length - 30"
B: Width - 28"
C: Height - 24"

 
 
 
 

 


FOR A COVER: Add 3-4" to either A or B for a loose fit. For height (C) add one half of width (B) to actual height.

A   30" + 4" = 34"
B   28" = 28"
C   24" + 14" = 38"

COVER TO ORDER:

34" x 28" x 38"

 


FOR AN INNER LINER: Use the same directions as above for width and length. For the height, add all of dimension B (width of object) to actual height plus 3-4 inches for overlapping the ends of the liner.

A   30" + 4" = 34"
B   28" = 28"
C   24" + 28" + 3" = 55"

LINER TO ORDER:

34" x 28" x 55"

 

 


Mils vs. Microns

  • Mil – A unit of measurement in thousandths of an inch. (i.e., .001 = one thousandth of an inch or 1.0 mil). Generally used to designate the thickness of LLDPE products.
  • Mic – Short for micron, one thousandth of a millimeter. Generally used to designate the thickness of HDPE products.

How to Convert Microns to Mils

To convert microns to mils, divide the micron by 25.4 to arrive at true mil thickness.
5 Microns ÷ 25.4 = .19 Mil
28 Microns ÷ 25.4 = 1.1 Mil

How to Convert Mils to Microns

To convert mil to microns, multiply the mil by 25.4 to arrive at true micron thickness.
1 Mil = 25.4 Microns
.19 Mil x 25.4 = 5 Microns
1.1 Mil x 25.4 = 28 Microns
