About Feddan
A feddan (فدان) is the primary unit of land area in Egypt, Sudan, and parts of the Arab world, equal to approximately 4,200 m² (1.038 acres or 0.42 hectares). Its name derives from the Arabic word for 'yoke of oxen,' reflecting its agricultural origins - similar to the British acre. Egypt reports its cultivated farmland in millions of feddan; the fertile Nile Delta that feeds Egypt is measured in feddan. The feddan is subdivided into 24 kirats (each ~175 m²). It remains the legal standard for agricultural land registration in Egypt and Sudan.
About Square Thou
A square thou (thou²), sometimes called a square mil, is the area of a square with sides of one thousandth of an inch (0.0254 mm), equal to approximately 6.452 × 10⁻¹⁰ m². This tiny imperial unit is indispensable in precision engineering, PCB (printed circuit board) design, and manufacturing, where conductor widths, dielectric coating thicknesses, and tight machining tolerances are specified in thou. Wire insulation, thin films, and precision-stamped metal components are commonly described using this unit.
