Do you know the standard thickness of a copper layer on a PCB?

We visited a PCB factory. And find that there are copper boards with various thickness in their incoming materials warehouse. That’s cool. It is the first time we see that. How many standard thicknesses of a copper layer on a PCB?

If you mean the copper thickness of the copper layer, there is actually no standard thickness, 0.5oz, 1oz, 2oz, 3oz or other copper thicknesses are available. It mainly depends on the requirements of your product;

What Others Are Asking

CEM3 or FR4 PCB, which is the lightest material?

There is nothing about weight in the substrate datasheets I found.
Between CEM-3 or FR4, which is the lightest material ? What is the average weight by surface for CEM-3 boards ?

Has anyone had good/bad experiences with particular PCB-mount thermocouples?

I need to design a circuit board with a connector I can plug a standard thermocouple connector into. And, I am aware that when you connect thermocouple wires to copper traces, you create junctions of dissimilar metals that can cause errors if the junctions are at different temperatures.
