What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert area values from square mil (mil^2), a very small imperial-derived unit, into are (a), a metric unit equal to 100 square meters, commonly used in land and property measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerical value in square mil (mil^2) you want to convert.
  • Select square mil as the input unit and are as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in are (a).
  • Review the results and use provided examples for reference.

Key Features

  • Converts between square mil and are units accurately using standardized conversion rates.
  • Includes practical examples to illustrate conversions.
  • Supports applications in electronics, precision manufacturing, and land measurement.
  • Simple and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
  • Browser-based with no installation required.

Examples

  • 10 square mil (mil^2) equals 6.4516e-11 are (a).
  • 1000 square mil (mil^2) equals 6.4516e-9 are (a).

Common Use Cases

  • Converting extremely small surface areas in electronics such as PCB copper traces.
  • Describing cross-sectional areas of electrical conductors and metal foils.
  • Measuring small land parcels or gardens where hectares are too large and square meters too small.
  • Agricultural planning for small fields or orchards using metric units.
  • Maintaining cadastral and property records with appropriate area units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you do not confuse square mil with circular mil when converting area.
  • Use this converter for very small planar area measurements needing metric equivalents.
  • Verify unit selection carefully to avoid errors between imperial and metric systems.
  • Be mindful that conversions produce very small fractional values due to differences in unit scale.

Limitations

  • Square mil is suited only for tiny area measurements; conversions to are result in very small decimal numbers.
  • High precision may be needed when interpreting converted values due to scale differences.
  • Confusion may arise if square mil is mistaken for circular mil, which is based on a different geometric area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a square mil used for?
Square mil is used to specify very small planar areas such as PCB copper traces and conductor cross sections in electronics.

How does an are compare to a hectare?
An are is equal to 100 square meters and relates to hectares, where 1 hectare equals 100 ares.

Can I confuse square mil with circular mil?
No, square mil refers to the area of a square with one mil side, while circular mil relates to the area of a circle one mil in diameter; they are different units.

Key Terminology

Square mil (mil^2)
An imperial-derived unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one mil (0.001 inch).
Are (a)
A metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters, commonly used in land measurement.
Circular mil
A unit of area representing a circle with a one mil diameter, different from square mil.
