wall thickness

Partition's material span

Wall thickness is the measurement of how thick a wall is, typically referring to the sides of containers, pipes, tubes, or hollow structures rather than architectural walls.

Engineers and manufacturers specify wall thickness to ensure structural integrity: The pipe's wall thickness determines how much pressure it can handle.

Thinner walls save material but sacrifice strength.
