Area of a wire that is one-thousandth of an inch (.001 inch, one mil) in diameter. This area is pi/4 of a square mil. The circular mil area (CMA, cmil) equals the diameter in mils squared. By knowing the CMA of various conductors, they can be used to determine what conductivity and gage size various combinations will produce.
The unit of the cross-sectional area of a wire.
The area of a circle one one-thousandth of an ich(.001") in diameter.By knowing the circular mil area of various conductors, they can be used to determine what conductivity and gage size various combinations will produce.
A unit of area equal to the area of a circle whose diameter is 1 mil (0.001 inch). Used chiefly in specifying cross-sectional areas of round conductors.
One circular mil is the area of a circle with a diameter of one thousandth of an inch. Used to define the area of magnet wires.
The area of a circle one mil (.001") in diameter. Used in expressing wire cross sectional area.
An area equal to that of a circle with a diameter of 0.001 inch. It is used for measuring the cross-sectional area of wires.
A term used to define cross-sectional areas using an arithmetic short-cut in which the area of a round wire is taken as "diameter in mils (.001") squared." One circular mil is equal to pi/4 square mils.
Used to define cross-sectional areas of conductors. The area of a circle 1/1000 inches in diameter is one circular mil. 1,000,000 cm = 1 circular inch and 1 cm = pi/4 square mils.
A circular mil is a unit of area, equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil. A mil is one thousandth of an inch. A circular mil is a convenient unit for referring to the area of the cross section of a wire or cable with a circular cross section, as the area can be calculated without reference to pi.
