What Is This Tool?
This tool converts luminance measurements from apostilb, a historical non-SI unit, to stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit. It helps interpret older photometric data and facilitates calibration between different luminance unit systems.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in apostilb you want to convert.
- Select apostilb as the input unit and stilb (sb) as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in stilb.
- Review the result to interpret or use in your application.
Key Features
- Converts luminance values from apostilb to stilb (sb) accurately based on established formulas.
- Supports understanding and comparison of historical photometric measurements.
- Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
- Provides examples to demonstrate common conversion values.
Examples
- 1 Apostilb equals 0.000031831 Stilb.
- 10 Apostilb equals 0.00031831 Stilb.
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting screen or display brightness data from older photometric specifications.
- Analyzing the luminance of diffusely reflecting surfaces in lighting engineering studies.
- Converting historical luminance data for calibration of imaging or photometric instruments.
- Translating CGS unit-based luminance data into compatible modern units for research.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify the context and source of the luminance data to ensure correct unit interpretation.
- Consider the scale difference between apostilb and stilb when working with very large or small values.
- Use the tool to cross-check legacy measurement data before applying modern calibration.
- Refer to provided examples to understand typical conversion results.
Limitations
- Apostilb and stilb are historical, non-SI units; modern measurements mainly use candela per square metre.
- Significant scale differences may affect precision for extremely large or small luminance values.
- Users must be cautious about unit context to prevent misunderstanding legacy photometric information.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an apostilb unit used for?
- Apostilb is a non-SI unit used historically to report screen brightness and luminance of diffusely reflecting surfaces in lighting and cinematography.
- How does stilb differ from apostilb?
- Stilb is a CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square metre, whereas apostilb equals approximately 1/π candela per square metre, making them differ significantly in scale.
- Why convert apostilb to stilb?
- Conversion helps interpret and compare luminance values from historical data reported in different photometric systems and supports accurate calibration between unit standards.
Key Terminology
- Apostilb (asb)
- A historical, non-SI luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square metre, used in older photometric and cinematography contexts.
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square metre, often used in older literature or optical research.
- Luminance
- A measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
