Circular Mil


A circular mil is a unit of area used mainly to measure the cross-sectional area of round wires and cables in electrical engineering.



  • Defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of 1 mil (1 mil = 0.001 inch).



  • Area = (diameter in mils)² circular mils.



  • 1 circular mil ≈ 7.854 × 10⁻¹⁰ square meters or 0.7854 square mils.



Circular mils simplify calculations for round wires since area scales with the square of the diameter.



Acre (US Survey) [ac]


The acre (US survey) is a unit of area used mainly in the United States for land measurement, based on the US survey foot. It is slightly different from the international acre due to the foot definition.



  • 1 US survey acre = 43,560 US survey square feet



  • 1 US survey acre ≈ 4,046.87261 square meters



  • Slightly larger than the international acre by about 0.0005%.



It is commonly used in land surveying, real estate, and agriculture.
