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.

Rod (US Survey)

The US survey rod is a unit of length used in U.S. land surveying. It is defined as exactly 16.5 US survey feet, which is slightly longer than the international foot. Since one US survey foot equals approximately 0.3048006096 meters, the US survey rod measures about 5.0292 meters.

The survey rod, also called a pole or perch, is historically significant in the U.S. Public Land Survey System and is used to measure land boundaries and distances.

Key facts:

1 US survey rod = 16.5 US survey feet
1 US survey rod ≈ 5.0292 meters
4 US survey rods = 1 US survey chain
40 US survey rods = 1 US survey furlong

Though the US survey foot and related units are being phased out in favor of international units, the US survey rod still appears in legal land descriptions and older surveying documents.
