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 Thou
A square thou is an imperial unit of area equal to 6.4516×10⁻¹⁰ m², identical to the square mil. The word 'thou' is short for 'thousandth' (of an inch).
Identical in value to the square mil; 'thou' is the British engineering term, 'mil' is the American term. Both refer to 1/1000 of an inch.
Square thous are used in British and Commonwealth engineering contexts where 'thou' is preferred over 'mil', particularly in mechanical engineering tolerance specifications.
Standardized via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
