Kilometers (km)

Definition

A kilometer (km) is a metric unit of length equal to 1,000 meters. It is the standard unit for expressing long distances in the metric system.

History

The kilometer was adopted as part of the metric system in 1795. It became the standard long-distance unit across most of the world, though the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries still primarily use miles.

Current use

Kilometers are used worldwide for road distances, geographic measurements, running and cycling events, vehicle odometers (in metric countries), and aviation altitude in some regions.

Mils (thousandths of an inch)

Definition

A mil (also called a thou) is an imperial unit of length equal to one thousandth of an inch (0.001 in or approximately 0.0254 mm).

History

The mil originated in manufacturing and engineering in English-speaking countries as a practical unit for measuring very thin materials. The name 'thou' derives from 'thousandth of an inch'.

Current use

Mils are used in manufacturing for measuring wire diameter, sheet metal thickness, printed circuit board (PCB) trace widths, paint and coating thickness, and plastic film thickness.
