What Is This Tool?

This converter enables you to change area units from square mil [mil^2], commonly used in precision electronics and manufacturing, to square rod (US survey), a legacy unit often found in land surveying and cadastral records.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in square mil [mil^2] you want to convert
  • Select square mil [mil^2] as the input unit and square rod (US survey) as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the area in square rod (US survey)
  • Use the displayed result for your application in engineering or land surveying

Key Features

  • Converts between very small area units and larger land measurement units accurately
  • Supports units used in electronics manufacturing and cadastral surveying
  • Provides clear examples with conversion formulas
  • Browser-based and simple to use without installation

Examples

  • 10,000 square mil equals 2.5507499234874e-7 square rod (US survey)
  • 1,000,000 square mil equals 2.5507499234874e-5 square rod (US survey)

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying very small planar areas in PCB copper traces and electronic components
  • Converting legacy land areas recorded in old cadastral or property documents
  • Interpreting and transferring agricultural or small plot areas into modern units
  • Applying conversions in electrical engineering and precision manufacturing contexts

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the scale difference due to the drastic size difference between square mil and square rod
  • Confirm that you are using US survey foot definitions when dealing with square rod measurements
  • Use this conversion primarily for applications connecting electronics scale areas to legacy land units
  • Carefully check legacy data sources for unit definitions to avoid discrepancies

Limitations

  • Square mil measures extremely small areas, while square rod applies to much larger plots, so conversions involve large scale changes
  • The use of US survey foot in square rod can cause slight differences versus other foot definitions
  • This tool does not accommodate other related units like circular mil or metric area units

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a square mil [mil^2] used for?
It is used to specify very small planar areas such as copper traces on PCBs and cross-sectional areas in electrical engineering.

Where is square rod (US survey) commonly applied?
Square rod is typically used in land surveying, cadastral records, and historical land deed measurements.

Why is there a large difference in scale when converting between these units?
Because square mil measures extremely small areas and square rod measures much larger land areas, reflecting very different size scales.

Key Terminology

Square mil [mil^2]
An imperial-derived small area unit defined by a square with sides of 1 mil (0.001 inch); used in electronics and precision manufacturing.
Square rod (US survey)
An area unit based on a square with sides of one US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet), often used in land surveying and property descriptions.
US survey foot
A unit of length used in the US customary land surveying system, defining the basis for the square rod measurement.
