Limitations

Circular mil is very small and not suited for direct land measurement without large scaling
Are units are designed for land, so conversions from circular mil yield tiny decimal values
This conversion is unsuitable for high precision electrical area calculations
Maintaining unit consistency is critical to prevent documentation or engineering errors
Large numerical values are necessary to make meaningful land area equivalents from circular mil
