I'm told that's where the measurement technique was invented... This of course, yields the familiar 1.4 mils thick copper we all know and love.... That copper sheet material was then laminated or applied to an insulator backing and the PCB was born.. :) (don't ya love legends) Can't remember where I heard it... but it made sense... Might as well retell it... - Bill Brooks -----Original Message----- From: Rene Tschaggelar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 12:05 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] Copper Calculations This unit 'ounces of copper', does it apply to 1)square foot ? 2)square yard ? 3)square meter ? European thicknesses are 35, 70, 105, 150, 200 and 300 micrometer. I just wondered how they relate. One ounce is 28 grams, isn't it ?
