Mil

A mil is a unit of length commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small distances, especially thicknesses. It is equal to one-thousandth of an inch (0.001 inch), which is approximately 0.0254 millimeters.

The mil is widely used in industries like plastic film, coatings, wire diameter, and mechanical parts, where precise measurements of thin materials are necessary. It should not be confused with the millimeter, which is 0.001 meters or 1,000 microns — much larger than a mil.

Key points:

• 
  

  1 mil = 0.001 inch = 0.0254 mm

  
  
• 
  

  Used mainly for small thicknesses or diameters

  
  
• 
  

  Common in engineering, manufacturing, and material sciences

  
  
• 
  

  Not to be confused with millimeter (mm)

  
  

The mil remains an important unit in technical fields where fine measurement is critical.

Statute League

A statute league is a traditional unit of distance used primarily on land and defined as 3 statute miles, which equals about 4.83 kilometers or 15,840 feet. It was commonly used in English-speaking countries for measuring distances before the metric system became widespread. The statute league is different from the nautical league, which is based on nautical miles and used at sea. Although largely obsolete today, the statute league is still found in historical texts and older maps.
