neliötuumista

Neliötuumista is the Finnish word for square inch. It is a unit of area in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. One square inch is the area of a square with sides that are one inch long. It is commonly used for measuring the size of screens, such as computer monitors and televisions, as well as for describing the dimensions of small objects and surfaces.

The symbol for square inch is in² or sq in. To convert square inches to square centimeters, one must multiply by approximately 6.4516. Conversely, to convert square centimeters to square inches, one divides by this factor. While largely superseded by the metric system globally, the square inch remains in use in countries like the United States, and in specific technical fields where historical standards persist. Its usage is prevalent in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and consumer electronics, particularly within the United States market. Understanding neliötuumista is therefore essential when dealing with specifications or measurements originating from these contexts.
