Discover the ease of converting circular mils to circular inches with Newtum's intuitive conversion tool, designed to pique your curiosity and enhance your measuring precision.
A circular mil is a unit of area used primarily in the United States to denote the cross-sectional size of wires or cables. The area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one thousandth of an inch), it provides a simple method for technicians to calculate the width without resorting to pi-based calculations.
Definition of Circular InchA circular inch is a measurement of area, equivalent to the area of a circle with a one-inch diameter. This unit is less common than other area measurements but is still used in certain industries, such as electrical and engineering fields, to measure cross-sectional areas.
| Circular Mil | Circular Inch |
|---|---|
| 1000 cmil | 0.001963 in² |
| 2000 cmil | 0.003927 in² |
| 5000 cmil | 0.009817 in² |
| 10000 cmil | 0.019635 in² |
| 20000 cmil | 0.03927 in² |
| 50000 cmil | 0.098175 in² |
| 100000 cmil | 0.19635 in² |
| 200000 cmil | 0.3927 in² |
| 500000 cmil | 0.98175 in² |
| 1000000 cmil | 1.9635 in² |
1 cmil = 0.000001963 in²
1 in² = 508,903.4 cmil
Example 1:
convert 10,000 cmil to in²:
10,000 cmil = 10,000 × 0.000001963 in² ≈ 0.01963 in²
Example 2:
convert 100,000 cmil to in²:
100,000 cmil = 100,000 × 0.000001963 in² = 0.1963 in²
