Here are some numbers I measured my own self.


Covering Ounces/100 in2 Grams/ft2
Polymicro super ultrafilm 0.0027 0.11
Polymicro Ultafilm 0.005 0.20
Motel trash can liners 0.014 0.58
Fine condenser paper 0.015 0.61
Reg. or Econ. cond. paper 0.020-0.025 0.80-1.02
Antique Gampi tissue 0.021 0.83
Bleached white Gampi tissue 0.023 0.95
Dry cleaner bags 0.028 1.15
Japanese tissue 0.028-0.030 1.1-1.2
Esaki tissue 0.029 1.16
White Domestic Tissue 0.037 1.51

Next time you stay in a Motel 1 (cheap), save the trash can liners. They are lighter than condenser paper.
