What is a Mil/Thou?
A mil (or thou) is 0.001 inch (25.4 μm), crucial in precision engineering. The term 'thou' is preferred in machining to avoid confusion with millimeter. Human hair measures 3-5 thou, while printer paper is about 10 thou thick.
What is a Micrometer (µm)?
The micrometer (µm) is one millionth of a meter. It is used in microscopy and fields that require extreme precision, such as electronics and biology.
