Frequently asked questions
- Is 8mm the same thickness as a standard pencil?
- Close, but not quite. A standard wooden pencil is typically 7-7.5mm in diameter, so 8mm (0.315 inches) is slightly thicker. However, 8mm is a common thickness for mechanical pencils, marker barrels, and many pen bodies.
- What common objects are about 8mm thick?
- An 8mm measurement equals roughly the thickness of a stack of 6-7 credit cards, a standard AAA battery diameter, or the width of a standard paperclip wire. It's also close to the diameter of many ball-point pen tips and the thickness of a typical smartphone camera lens bump.
