Earl,
 
Certainly you're not saying that the hole wall thickness can be taken into account when performing annular ring measurements????
 
While I agree that the hole wall may be part of the annular ring, but only as it's point of termination.
 
In determining annular ring thickness I look at the diagrams in IPC-A-600, section 3.3.1 Annular Ring-Internal Layers. The diagram arrows identify beginning and end of the annular to be measured???
 
Also, IPC-A-600, paragraph 2.10.2 Annular Ring-Measurement, The first line reads "Annular Ring is the annular solderable  area between the edge of the drilled hole and the edge of the land.
 
I read this to mean surface and not encroaching upon the hole wall at all.
 
Of course this is only how I do this, and I've never been known to be wrong ~guffaw~
 
Regards,
 
Franklin D Asbell

1 mil, technically, is not breakout. Back in the good old days with H-P
(1970 something), their specification clearly required a 1 mil annular ring
throughout the MLB structure. This was reasoned based on minimum hole wall
plating. In other words it was, and is, not possible to have breakout with
that much plating in the hole. Something to consider along with all that
goes with it as minimum ductility and plating quality, etc.
