Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
Square Micrometer
A square micrometer (µm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one micrometer (µm).
History/Origin
The square micrometer originated with the development of the metric system and microscopic measurement techniques, becoming standard in scientific fields requiring precise area measurements at microscopic scales.
Current Use
The square micrometer is used in fields such as microbiology, materials science, and nanotechnology to measure tiny surface areas, particle sizes, and microscopic features.
