What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms luminance values from the nonstandard 'bril' unit into the CGS photometric unit 'stilb' (symbol: sb). It is helpful for interpreting legacy or proprietary luminance data and converting it into recognized scientific units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in bril into the input field
  • Select 'bril' as the source unit if not preselected
  • Choose 'stilb [sb]' as the target unit
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent luminance in stilb

Key Features

  • Converts luminance values from bril to stilb [sb]
  • Facilitates interpretation of legacy or local luminance measurements
  • Provides straightforward input and output of units
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions

Examples

  • 1 Bril equals approximately 3.18 × 10⁻¹² Stilb [sb]
  • 1000 Bril equals approximately 3.18 × 10⁻⁹ Stilb [sb]

Common Use Cases

  • Translating brightness measurements from nonstandard units in legacy documents
  • Converting photometric data for comparison with historical CGS units
  • Supporting optical research involving older or proprietary luminance values
  • Assisting lighting design where legacy units appear in specifications

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the exact definition of 'bril' from the original source before conversion
  • Use standardized units like candela per square metre or stilb for scientific contexts
  • Be cautious of the very small conversion factor leading to very small stilb values
  • Avoid using 'bril' in formal documentation unless clarified

Limitations

  • 'Bril' is not a standardized luminance unit and may differ in meaning
  • The extremely small conversion factor results in very low numerical stilb values
  • Not suitable for strict scientific or engineering specifications without verification

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bril a standard unit of luminance?
No, bril is not widely recognized or standardized and is considered a nonstandard or local term.

What does stilb [sb] represent?
Stilb (sb) is a CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square metre.

Why convert from bril to stilb?
Converting helps interpret legacy or proprietary luminance values into standardized CGS units for comparison and analysis.

Key Terminology

Bril
A nonstandard or proprietary luminance unit with no widespread recognition; definition should be confirmed from source.
Stilb [sb]
A photometric unit of luminance in the CGS system equal to 10,000 candela per square metre.
Luminance
A measure of luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction.
