What does one circular inch represent?

One circular inch is the area of a circle with a diameter of one inch, equal to π/4 square inches and equivalent to 1,000,000 circular mils.

What is a sabin used to measure?

A sabin measures acoustic absorption, representing the absorption provided by one unit area of a perfectly absorbing surface, used in room acoustics.

Why convert circular inch to sabin?

Converting helps in translating physical cross-sectional areas of round objects into sound absorption units, useful in specialized engineering and acoustics.
