What Is This Tool?
This tool enables conversion between the blondel and apostilb units of luminance, both of which are historical, non-SI photometric measurements. It is designed to help interpret and harmonize older luminance data used in lighting engineering and cinematography.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value measured in blondel.
- Select 'blondel' as the original unit and 'apostilb' as the target unit.
- Calculate the equivalent value in apostilb instantly since 1 Blondel equals 1 Apostilb.
Key Features
- Simple conversion between blondel and apostilb units, which are historically equivalent.
- Provides definitions and use cases for both units to aid understanding.
- Supports analysis and comparison of historical photometric data.
Examples
- 5 Blondel converts to 5 Apostilb.
- 0.75 Blondel converts to 0.75 Apostilb.
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historical photometry and lighting engineering literature.
- Comparing and aligning older measurement reports with current data.
- Analyzing screen brightness specified in older cinematography reports.
- Calibrating imaging equipment with legacy luminance units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Remember that both units are obsolete and replaced by SI units for modern applications.
- Use this conversion mainly for archival, historical comparison, or calibration purposes.
- Check accompanying documentation when working with older photometric data for context.
Limitations
- Both blondel and apostilb are outdated and not used in contemporary SI-based photometry.
- Conversion accuracy should be treated carefully for precise scientific measurements.
- Use primarily for historical data interpretation rather than modern technical analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the blondel unit?
- The blondel is an obsolete photometric unit of luminance named after André Blondel, used in early 20th-century photometry before SI units became standard.
- How does the apostilb relate to SI units?
- The apostilb equals 1 divided by pi candela per square metre, serving as a historical non-SI luminance measurement.
- Why convert blondel to apostilb?
- Converting helps compare and interpret historical luminance data that appears in older photometric literature and calibration standards.
Key Terminology
- Blondel
- An obsolete photometric luminance unit named after André Blondel, superseded by candela per square metre.
- Apostilb
- A historical non-SI luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square metre, used in older photometry and cinematography.
- Luminance
- The photometric measure of luminous intensity per unit area emitted or reflected in a given direction.
