throw them and see how far they travel

It depends on how precise you need to be.\n\nIf you're looking for a rough estimate a micrometer or caliper would be fine, though they will always underestimate the thickness since the paper will distort under the pressure of the instrument.\n\nIf you can assume that your piece of paper is of uniform thickness (and you have many pieces) you can measure the stack and divide by the number of sheets.  If you only have one piece you can fold it into a stack, measure that thickness and divide by the number of folds.  \n\nIf this is only a hypothetical question or you have some money to spend there are laser micrometers that can measure the thickness of transparent or semi-opaque films down to a few microns.

The USEPA manuals are the place to start.  For unofficial procedures, you can go to a pool or fish store and get simple tests that work for most home situations.  Other procedures are found in the book "Standard Methods".

You can of course try anything you wish.  However, I would suggest that you perform (or have performed) a flame test on any sample product.  I recall that the UL (Underwriters Lab) was involved in a law suit re' testing of new styrofoam panels for insulation.  The panels were used to insulate a garage and were not covered.  When a fire broke out the panels became a holocaust (causing a death).  The panels evidently passed a flame test when horizontal igniting slowly and were not tested vertically which would have shown that they were a hazard and needed to be covered to resist flame and burn rate.  You could check your panels against fibreboard (horizontally and vertically) to check for gross problems.  Also have a Lab perform formal tests before going commercial.  I would think the binder and surface texture would be very important.  good luck.

well, i wanted to answer this question\nWhat is the best way to build a paper airplane?\nbut they already chose for best answer.\n\nso i will answer here( i hope you dont mind) actually if i have engough time i might get to your question.\n\nanyway, back on topic well back off topic\n\ni think that i am the best at making paper airplanes because i learned in the third grade, and i got held back i attribute my aweomse paper making wisdom skills because i spent 4 and a half years in third grade, though i think mrs. genesemer only passed me cuz i couldnt fit in the little desks anymore.\nbut i forgot how to make a paper airplane\n\nnow to answer your question.\n\nat a 54 degree angle perpendicular to the prime meridian with the vertex at greenwich (umm dont track me down when you flunk your homework)\n\nseriously dont use this answer

maybe try some white out or liquid paper.

maybe a puzzle you cut out paper and conect them see if it works and maybe make it into a picture

Because of the weight of the sticks, you will probably need to split them into 1/4 or 1/8 widths, wet them and curve then for the wing shape (rounded on top), and then glue them in a framework. Use tissue paper. If you make a propeller, you could power it with a wound rubber band.\n\nConstructions such as this were made by aeronautic teenagers 50 years ago, but they usually used balsa wood.

your local library probably has test helpers

It seems research on this has continued. Still sounds very preliminary though - experiments on small models or paper planes ;)  But maybe you'd like to check the links.

Need some paper work i think

1. Get old newspaper.\n2. Soak it. Completely saturate it with water.\n3. Stick it in a blender. Add some ink or even food coloring. Turn it into a pulp.\n4. Try to find some fine mesh. Chicken wire works, if it's fairly closely spaced. Pour the concoction over it. Put paper towels and a book on top to press it.\n5. Dry overnight. Be careful when you peel it off.\n\nOld blue jeans also work (arguably better), but they'll kill your blender.
