How to test aluminum foil thickness

The easiest way to measure the thickness of the aluminum foil is with a micrometer. If you don’t have this tool, there is a simple way to roughly calculate the thickness. Use a ruler to measure the length and width (cm) of the foil. Crush the foil into small balls or fold it into a small shape and place it on a milligram scale to find the weight. Use this formula to get a result: aluminum foil thickness= aluminum foil weight/(lenth x width x aluminum density).
