Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
Square Pole
A square pole is a unit of area measurement representing the area of a square with one pole (perch) as its side, where one pole equals 16.5 feet, making the area 272.25 square feet.
History/Origin
The square pole originated from traditional land measurement systems used in England and colonial America, primarily for measuring plots of land in rural and agricultural contexts before the widespread adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Today, the square pole is rarely used in modern measurement systems but may still be encountered in historical land records, rural property descriptions, or in regions that retain traditional measurement units.
