An inch, symbolized as 'in' or '"', is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot, or precisely 2.54 centimeters. Historically, an inch was also used as a standard unit in many other systems of measurements. The inch is now a standard unit that is commonly used in many countries and is also used widely in engineering and construction.
Definition of MilA mil, also known as a thou is a unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch (0.001 inch). The term 'mil' is commonly used in engineering and manufacturing industries to describe small distances, thicknesses, and diameters. In the United States, the mil is a standard unit for measuring the thickness of materials such as plastic films, wires, and sheets of various materials.
| Square Inch (in²) | Circular Mil (mil²) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 in² | 1550000 mil² |
| 0.1 in² | 15500000 mil² |
| 0.5 in² | 77500000 mil² |
| 1 in² | 155000000 mil² |
| 2 in² | 310000000 mil² |
| 3 in² | 465000000 mil² |
| 4 in² | 620000000 mil² |
| 5 in² | 775000000 mil² |
| 10 in² | 1550000000 mil² |
| 20 in² | 3100000000 mil² |
1 in² = 1,550,000 mil²
1 mil² = 0.00000064516 in²
Example 1:
Convert 0.5 in² to mil²:
0.5 in² = 0.5 × 1,550,000 mil² = 775,000 mil²
Example 2:
Convert 2 in² to mil²:
2 in² = 2 × 1,550,000 mil² = 3,100,000 mil²
The Square Inch to Circular Mil Converter is a tool that traces its roots back to the need for precision in engineering and electrical industries. It facilitates the conversion of area measurements from square inches, a unit used for larger, more macroscopic measurements, to circular mils, which are used for finer, more microscopic measurements such as the cross-sectional area of wires.
Uncover the practical applications of converting square inches to circular mils in various real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
Convert 3 in² to mil²:
3 in² = 3 × 1,550,000 mil² = 4,650,000 mil²
Example 2:
Convert 7 in² to mil²:
7 in² = 7 × 1,550,000 mil² = 10,850,000 mil²
A square inch is a unit of area measurement in the imperial and US customary systems, equivalent to the area of a square with sides of one inch in length.
A circular mil is a unit of area, specifically for circular cross-sections, such as wires, where one circular mil is the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil.
The converter is designed to provide precise conversions, ensuring accuracy for engineering and technical applications.
