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.



Square Foot (US Survey)


The square foot (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot, which is slightly longer than the international foot. It is mainly used in land surveying and mapping in the United States.



  • 1 US survey foot = 1200⁄3937 meters (approximately 0.3048006096 m)



  • 1 square foot (US survey) ≈ 0.0929034116 m²



This unit helps maintain consistency in US land measurements, especially in legal and cadastral contexts.
