I agree with Werner on this one. Even your conventional one ounce copper
target of 0.0014 inches is 0.0012 in reality.

Subject: Re: [TN] copper weight
Hi Jeffrey and all,
Things are not quite as simple as has been portraied--the density of ED
copper is not a fixed number, it varies depending on the plating details of
a given
batch.
This is the reasopn ED Cu foil is given as a weight per area, not as a fixed
thickness. The situation is further muddies, because many of these foils
have
a variety of adhesion "tooth" geometries.
Thus, to say "copper weights in oz - 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 are
as
follows in microns - 9, 12, 18, 35, 71, 107, 142" is not correct. The micron
numbers are only the metric equivalents of the mil numbers, BUT the
mil-thicknesses are only NOMINAL values with significant +/- ranges.
