What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms electric field strength values measured in statvolt/inch, an older electrostatic cgs unit, into kilovolt/meter, a widely used SI unit in engineering and physics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in statvolt/inch that you want to convert
  • Select statvolt/inch as the source unit and kilovolt/meter as the target unit
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent electric field strength in kilovolt/meter

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength from statvolt/inch to kilovolt/meter
  • Supports conversion for legacy and modern measurement contexts
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit translation

Examples

  • 2 statvolt/inch equals 23.6056692906 kilovolt/meter
  • 0.5 statvolt/inch equals 5.90141732265 kilovolt/meter

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting electric-field magnitudes in historical or classical electrostatics literature
  • Converting measurements from electrostatic cgs system experiments to SI units
  • Assessing insulation and safety near high-voltage equipment using modern units
  • Defining dielectric breakdown test levels and exposure limits in engineering

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the context when working with statvolt/inch since it is a legacy unit
  • Convert all values to SI units for compatibility with contemporary standards and instruments
  • Use the precise conversion factor to maintain consistency in comparisons

Limitations

  • Statvolt/inch is mainly a specialized or historical unit not commonly used in modern practice
  • Conversion from cgs to SI units may involve some loss of precision due to system differences
  • Ensure correct application context as statvolt/inch is uncommon without conversion in engineering

Frequently Asked Questions

What does statvolt/inch measure?
Statvolt/inch measures electric field strength in the electrostatic cgs (esu) system as potential difference per inch.

Why convert statvolt/inch to kilovolt/meter?
Conversion is needed to translate legacy or specialized electrostatic measurements into SI units used in modern engineering and safety assessments.

Is statvolt/inch still used today?
Statvolt/inch is primarily a historical or specialized unit; it is rarely used in modern applications without conversion to SI units.

Key Terminology
