A 'barn' is a unit of area used in nuclear physics to quantify the effective cross-sectional area of nuclei and nucleon scattering. Although it's a non-SI unit, it's widely accepted in the physics community. One barn equals 10^-28 square meters. The term 'barn' is whimsically derived from the phrase 'as big as a barn,' reflecting the relative ease of hitting a large target.
Definition of Square MilA 'square mil' is a unit of area commonly used in the United States to measure very small surfaces. One square mil is the area of a square with sides that are one mil (one thousandth of an inch) in length. It is equivalent to 6.4516 square millimeters. This unit is often used in manufacturing industries and engineering for precise measurements of small areas.
| Barn (b) | Square Mil (mil²) |
|---|---|
| 1 b | 1.55 x 10^12 mil² |
| 2 b | 3.1 x 10^12 mil² |
| 3 b | 4.65 x 10^12 mil² |
| 4 b | 6.2 x 10^12 mil² |
| 5 b | 7.75 x 10^12 mil² |
| 6 b | 9.3 x 10^12 mil² |
| 7 b | 1.085 x 10^13 mil² |
| 8 b | 1.24 x 10^13 mil² |
| 9 b | 1.395 x 10^13 mil² |
| 10 b | 1.55 x 10^13 mil² |
1 b = 1.55 x 10^12 mil²
1 mil² = 6.4516 x 10^-13 b
Example 1:
convert 2 b to mil²:
2 b = 2 × 1.55 x 10^12 mil² = 3.1 x 10^12 mil²
Example 2:
convert 5 b to mil²:
5 b = 5 × 1.55 x 10^12 mil² = 7.75 x 10^12 mil²
The Barn to Square Mil Converter is a modern tool that emerged from the need to bridge traditional and nuclear measurement systems. It allows seamless transition between the barn, a unit used in particle physics, and the square mil, commonly used in manufacturing and engineering in the United States. This conversion plays a critical role in various scientific and industrial applications.
Harness the practicality of the Barn to Square Mil Converter and unlock its potential in real-world applications.
Example 1:
To convert 2 barns to square mils:
2 barns = 2 × 1.55 x 10^12 square mils = 3.1 x 10^12 square mils
Example 2:
To convert 7 barns to square mils:
7 barns = 7 × 1.55 x 10^12 square mils = 1.085 x 10^13 square mils
