What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms heat flux density values from watts per square meter (SI unit) to ergs per hour per square millimeter (a CGS-derived unit). It's designed to support measurements used in micro-scale experiments, legacy data, and astrophysical contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the heat flux density value in watt/square meter (W/m²).
  • Select watt/square meter as the input unit and erg/hour/square millimeter as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in erg/hour/square millimeter.

Key Features

  • Converts heat flux density between watt/square meter and erg/hour/square millimeter.
  • Supports unit conversions involving SI and CGS-based energy units over different surface areas.
  • Offers easy online access for quick calculations without additional tools.
  • Facilitates comparisons in laboratory, microelectronics, and astrophysics settings.

Examples

  • 2 W/m² converts to 72000 erg/hour/mm².
  • 0.5 W/m² converts to 18000 erg/hour/mm².

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying solar irradiance for photovoltaic and solar resource assessments.
  • Thermal characterization of microelectronic components and sensors per square millimeter.
  • Reporting heat transfer in thin-film and coating laboratory experiments.
  • Analyzing historical or astrophysical radiative-flux data expressed in CGS units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct unit selection before converting values to avoid errors.
  • Use this tool for small-area and CGS-unit contexts to maintain consistency.
  • Verify dimensional analysis when mixing CGS and metric units in calculations.
  • Check converted results especially when integrating with large-scale engineering data.

Limitations

  • The erg/hour/square millimeter unit mixes CGS energy units with metric time and area units, requiring careful interpretation.
  • Small surface area units used may complicate comparisons with large-scale heat flux expressed in W/m².

Frequently Asked Questions
