International Nautical League
The international nautical league is a standardized version of the nautical league used in maritime navigation. It is defined as exactly 3 international nautical miles, which equals 5,556 meters or about 3.45 miles. This standardization helps avoid confusion caused by variations in historical definitions of the league. While the nautical mile remains the primary unit in modern navigation, the international nautical league provides a consistent way to measure longer distances at sea when needed.
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.
