Units explained
Square Inch
A square inch is an imperial unit of area equal to exactly 0.00064516 m², the area of a square with sides of one inch. It is widely used in the United States for small-area measurements.
Derived by squaring the inch. The inch was standardized to exactly 25.4 mm via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Square inches are used extensively in US engineering, manufacturing, real estate (for floor plans), and everyday small-area measurements. Engine displacement is often expressed in cubic inches but cross-sections in square inches.
Inch dates to medieval English usage; modern exact value standardized in 1959.
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.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 in² to fur²:
1 × 1.594225e-8 = 1.594225e-8 fur²
Example 2 — Convert 100 in² to fur²:
100 × 1.594225e-8 = 1.594225e-6 fur²
Real-world example — Fiber-optic link lengths
Converting from microscale square inches to the square furlongs of a long-haul fiber link is the conversion an optical engineer performs when calculating attenuation per kilometre of fiber.
1e+9 in² × 1.594225e-8 = 15.9422507907 fur²
Real-world example — Feature-scale to long-haul
One billion square inches equals exactly one square furlong — the conversion an optical-network engineer performs when totalling feature-level path lengths into a single long-haul fiber-link distance.
1e+9 in² × 1.594225e-8 = 15.9422507907 fur²
