What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate electric field strength values measured in statvolt per inch (stV/in), a unit from the cgs electrostatic system, into kilovolt per inch (kV/in), a non‑SI unit commonly used in high-voltage engineering. It facilitates updating historical or specialized electrostatic data into units suitable for modern applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field value in statvolt per inch (stV/in)
  • Select 'statvolt/inch' as the input unit and 'kilovolt/inch' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the result in kilovolt per inch (kV/in)
  • Use the converted value for engineering calculations or data comparison

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength from statvolt/inch to kilovolt/inch
  • Based on established conversion rate: 1 stV/in = 0.299792 kV/in
  • Supports legacy measurement updates for modern engineering use
  • Useful for electrostatics research and high-voltage equipment design

Examples

  • 5 stV/in converts to approximately 1.49896 kV/in
  • 10 stV/in converts to approximately 2.99792 kV/in

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting electric field strengths in historical electrostatics literature
  • Designing insulation and clearance distances in high-voltage equipment
  • Performing laboratory tests involving spark gaps and corona discharge
  • Converting legacy cgs measurements for comparison with modern standards

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the unit system before converting between statvolt/inch and kilovolt/inch
  • Use the conversion to bring older cgs-based data into a context suitable for modern engineering
  • Remember that kilovolt/inch is not an SI unit; further conversion to volts per meter may be necessary
  • Consider the historical context when interpreting statvolt/inch measurements

Limitations

  • Statvolt/inch is a primarily historical unit not compatible with the SI system
  • Kilovolt/inch is also not an SI unit and lacks universal standardization
  • Accurate conversion requires awareness of differences between unit systems
  • This converter does not perform further conversion into SI units like volts per meter
