(of rubber etc)

  • 1 Rubber Thread Counts

    The number or size of rubber thread is obtained by the relationship of the thread to a cube of 1-in. For example, size 16's would be 1/16-in. on all the four sides which form a square thread of rubber. Flat rubber threads such as used for many elastic webs, etc., are numbered by giving the size of both the thickness and the width. Thus 16 X 12 indicates that the thread is 1/16-in. thick and 1/12-in. wide. Sizes most used are from 18's to 48's - odd numbers are not used. Round rubber thread has two denominations, e.g., 32/36's. This means that such a thread would have a diameter of 1/32-in. and that in cross-sectional area or volume it would be the equivalent of a 36's square thread.
