Mils are a unit of measurement, comparable to degrees. On a compass 360 degrees is equivalent to 6400 mils. It is a measurement commonly used in the military because it can also be used to measure distance. At a distance of 1000 meters, 1 mil is equivalent to 1 meter.
For example, if you know a vehicle is 4 meters wide and it is measured from a distance as being four mils wide you know it stands at a distance of 1000 meters.

1 circular mil = 1 mil x 1 mil a=d2 so if a wire has a diameter of 80 mils, it has an area of 6400 circular mils.
To convert guage to mils, multiply by 0.01 (see related link). 1 gauge equals 0.01 mils
80 mils =80/1000 inch, or 2/25 inch
1583923.398777 inches. That is true if you are referring to millimetres in which case the abbreviations would be mm. Mils are an angular measurement where a circle is divided into 6400 mils in NATO military usage

To convert points (pt) to mils, you can use the conversion factor where 1 point is equal to 1/1000 of an inch. Since there are 1000 mils in an inch, you can multiply the number of points by 0.001 to convert to inches and then multiply by 1000 to convert to mils. Therefore, to convert 17pt to mils: 17pt × 0.001 inches/pt × 1000 mils/inch = 17 mils.

64 mils are thicker. One mil equals 1/1000 inch, or 0.001 inches. 49 mils is 49/1000 = 0.049 inches. 64 mils is 64/1000 = 0.064 inches. Since 64 is larger than 49, an object 64 mils thick is thicker than an object 49 mils thick.
