What is the Ballistic Armor Value (AV) for the aluminum used as the hull and armor of the M113?

Can't be tremendous since it is rated only for 7.62x54R or lighter.

*edit* Aluminum (3rd edition, pg 38.)

AC 9 6mm = 0.7 cm of steel
AC 19 13mm = 1.02 cm of steel

6mm of aluminum is equal to 7mm of steel?

13mm of aluminum is equal to 12mm of steel?

25.4mm of steel is AC 48?

12.7mm of steel is not AC 24?
