Unit Information

Mil
/mɪl/
Symbol: mil
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Mil?

The mil is a unit of length in the imperial unit system and uses the symbol mil (or sometimes thou).

A mil in one one-thousandth of an inch (0.001 inches) or 25.4 μm.

The mil is still used in the US to measure thickness of various materials.

Picometre
/pē′kə-mē′tər/
Symbol: pm
Unit System: SI

What is the Picometre?

The picometre is a unit of length and is a multiple of the SI unit metre. It uses the symbol pm.

It represents one trillionth of a metre, or one hundredth of an Ångström.

Because the picometre is so small, its use is restricted almost entirely to chemistry, quantum physics and particle physics. Atoms are typically 62 pm and 520 pm.

LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a probe planned for launch in 2034 to detect gravitational waves in space. Its measures these displacements with an accuracy of up to 20 pm over a distance of 2,500,000,000 m.
