What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform luminance values expressed in bril, a nonstandard or proprietary unit, into candela per square centimeter, a standard unit commonly used for measuring brightness on small emitting surfaces.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the luminance value in bril into the input field
-
Select bril as the input unit and candela per square centimeter as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the result
-
Interpret the converted value in the context of small-area luminance applications
Key Features
-
Converts luminance from bril, a nonstandard unit, to candela per square centimeter
-
Uses a precise, predefined conversion factor
-
Ideal for display engineering and lighting design applications involving small emitting areas
-
Helps standardize measurements from legacy or proprietary sources
Examples
-
1 Bril equals 3.1830988618379e-12 Candela/square centimeter
-
1000 Bril equals 3.1830988618379e-9 Candela/square centimeter
Common Use Cases
-
Replacing bril values in legacy materials with standard luminance units
-
Specifying brightness for compact emitting display elements like LED indicators or viewfinders
-
Characterizing luminance in display engineering for small light-emitting surfaces
-
Standardizing measurements in lighting design and instrumentation involving small area luminance
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the original definition of bril before converting since it is not standardized
-
Use the converter to replace bril with candela per square centimeter for precise and recognized measurements
-
Consider the extremely small conversion factor when interpreting the results
-
Apply the conversion primarily for specialized applications involving small-area luminance
Limitations
-
Bril is not a standardized unit and may have varying definitions depending on the source
-
Conversions should be performed only after verifying the exact meaning of bril in the original context
-
The resulting luminance values may be extremely small due to the tiny conversion factor
-
Direct comparisons may be limited without additional contextual information
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is bril?
-
Bril is a nonstandard, possibly proprietary unit of luminance without widely recognized or standardized meaning.
-
Why convert bril to candela per square centimeter?
-
Converting bril to candela per square centimeter helps to standardize and accurately represent luminance values suitable for small light-emitting surfaces.
-
Can I use bril in scientific specifications?
-
No, bril is not recommended for use in scientific or engineering specifications due to its lack of standardization.
Key Terminology
-
Bril
-
A nonstandard, local, or proprietary term for luminance without authoritative recognition.
-
Candela per square centimeter
-
