Square Millimeter
A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.
History/Origin
The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
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.
