About these units
Circular Inch (circ in)
A circular inch represents the area of a circle with a diameter of exactly one inch. This yields an area of approximately 0.7854 square inches. It is sometimes used in engineering, especially in the sizing of pipes, hydraulic fittings, and certain mechanical components where circular cross-sections dominate. While not as widespread as the square inch, the circular inch offers a more direct representation of the actual shape of round components, reducing the need for manual geometric conversion.
Rood (rood)
A rood equals 1/4 of an acre, or 10,890 square feet, and was used in medieval and early modern England for land measurement. The rood often appeared in agricultural records, taxation documents, and estate descriptions. Farmers used the rood to describe smaller plots of arable land, orchards, and grazing fields. Although obsolete today, the rood reflects the practical needs of historical agrarian societies, where manageable sub-acres allowed fine-grained recordkeeping and land division within larger estates.
