Units explained
Square Furlong
A square furlong is an imperial unit of area equal to exactly 40,468.564 m², or 10 acres.
Derived by squaring the furlong (660 feet or 1/8 mile). The furlong itself comes from medieval English 'furrow long', the length of a plowed furrow.
Square furlongs are rarely used today. The unit appears occasionally in historical English farming records and in some horseracing contexts (though usually as length, not area).
Medieval English origin; standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Square Mil
A square mil is an imperial unit of area equal to 6.4516×10⁻¹⁰ m². It is widely used in printed circuit board (PCB) design and electronics manufacturing.
Derived by squaring the mil (1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch = 0.0254 mm). Standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Square mils are the standard unit for PCB trace cross-sections, pad areas, and component pitches in US-localized electronic design software and datasheets.
Standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
