Square Mil [mil²]


A square mil (mil²) is a very small unit of area used mainly in engineering and manufacturing, especially for measuring the cross-sectional area of wires and thin materials.



  • 1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch (0.001 inch)



  • 1 square mil = (0.001 inch)² = 0.000001 square inches (in²)



  • 1 square mil ≈ 6.4516 × 10⁻¹⁰ square meters (m²)



Square mils are useful for precise measurements in electronics and materials science.


Square Rod (US Survey)


A square rod (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot and rod, used primarily in land surveying in the United States.



  • 1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet (exactly 16.5 feet)



  • 1 square rod (US survey) = 16.5 ft × 16.5 ft = 272.25 square feet ≈ 25.2929 m²



The US survey square rod is slightly different in exact length than the international measurement due to the foot definition but is essentially used the same way for land measurement.
