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.
