- Conversion involves π, causing minor rounding approximations
- Differences in measurement basis (projected area versus unit area) may affect comparisons in some surface types
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the apostilb unit?
- The apostilb is a non-SI, historical unit of luminance equal to 1 divided by π candela per square meter, used mainly in older photometric data.
- Why convert apostilb to nit?
- Converting apostilb to nit helps translate legacy luminance data into a modern, widely accepted unit used for displays and lighting.
- Are there any accuracy concerns in this conversion?
- Minor rounding errors can occur due to the irrational number π in the conversion factor, and measurement differences may exist between the units.
Key Terminology
- Apostilb
- A historic, non-SI unit of luminance equal to 1/π candela per square meter, used in older photometric measurements.
- Nit [nt]
- A non-SI unit of luminance equal to one candela per square meter, widely adopted to express display and lighting brightness.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected per unit area in a specific direction.
