[Hi Im Joe]

I thought someone answered this for you in another thread? He even got out calipers and measured if I remember right.

The threads had a different thickness I think.

Unless 3 ply and 4 ply are the same as 18/3 and 18/4.

thanks for the link. I can sometimes overcomplicate things, sorry about that.

Anyways, I found the measurements for others that might be wondering too.

18/3 = tex 270 = .58mm

18/4 = tex 350 = .65mm

18/5 = tex 450 = .78mm

18/6 = tex 500 = .9-1mm

Sorry! This is the second time I've done this in two days. Wow I really have no excuse. Your avatar even lists you as female.
