Aspect ratio = width of aperture divided by height. E.G. 6 mil stencil at 9 mil wide = aspect ratio of 1.5. Value should be 1.5 min.

Area ratio - use when length and width of pad are roughly same dimension like for BGAs and 0805 and smaller R-nets

this is the ratio of contact area of aperture opening and the surface area of the aperture walls. E.G. 30 mil aperture at 6mils thick gives area ratio of 1.25 Value should be greater than .66

Bruce, I have a spread sheet, in Excel, that helps in determining stencil thickness, based on smallest aperture size. If you are interested, I can email you this.

If you would email me your aperature ratio on the excell spreadsheet I would be most grateful Thanks,
