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.



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.
