Circular Inch


A circular inch is a unit of area used primarily in engineering and wire gauge measurements. It represents the area of a circle with a diameter of one inch.



  • Formula: Area = π × (radius)²



  • Since the radius is half an inch,

    Area = π × (0.5 in)² = π × 0.25 in² ≈ 0.7854 square inches (in²).



Circular inches are often used to specify cross-sectional areas of wires or pipes.


Square Chain [ch²]


A square chain (ch²) is a unit of area used in land surveying, especially in the US and UK. It represents the area of a square with sides one chain long.



  • 1 chain = 66 feet (20.1168 meters)



  • 1 square chain = 66 ft × 66 ft = 4,356 square feet ≈ 404.69 m²



  • 10 square chains = 1 acre



Square chains are used to measure land parcels and agricultural fields.
