Units explained
Square Pole
A square pole is identical to a square rod, equal to approximately 25.293 m². 'Pole' is a regional name used in some US and British contexts.
Identical to square rod and square perch; differs only in regional naming preference.
Square poles appear in some historical US land records, particularly in mid-Atlantic states with strong English colonial heritage.
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.
