What does it weigh? It's pretty obvious when you pick up a sheet if it's the lightweight stuff or not. Trupan ultra lightweight is 44 lbs. a sheet vs. about 70 for regular MDF.

What John Said!
Also the Ultralight is generally lighter in color as well. Whether Ultralight or Trupan it should have that info stamped along at least one of the long edges.

It does seem lighter, it didn't look as porous as I thought it would.
The delivery ticket said
MDFTPL3448 3/4x48x96 MDF TRUPAN LIGHT
Shipping wt was 76. It didn't seem that heavy.

Couldn't read all of the writing on the side, it looked like MDFTRUPANLIT8MMCHRB9

Thanks for the help, I am working on a vacuum table for the first time and trying to do it without asking to many questions

Lightweight MDF doesn't look any different than regular MDF, it just weighs less.

Welcome to the forum, do searches as I am sure you have, but most of all ask questions. This is the best CNC forum out there.
