Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
