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 Meter
A square meter (m^2) is the SI unit of area, representing the area of a square with sides of one meter each.
History/Origin
The square meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light, and has since become the standard unit for measuring area in the metric system.
Current Use
The square meter is widely used in various fields such as real estate, architecture, land measurement, and engineering to quantify surface areas of spaces and objects.
