What Is This Tool?

This tool converts luminance measurements from candela per square inch to apostilb, helping users translate values between imperial and historical photometric units commonly used in display and lighting fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in candela per square inch into the input field
  • Select 'candela per square inch' as the source unit
  • Choose 'apostilb' as the target unit for conversion
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in apostilb

Key Features

  • Converts candela per square inch to apostilb using an exact conversion rate
  • Supports luminance unit conversions relevant to display and lighting engineering
  • Browser-based and easy to use without any installation
  • Provides quick access to legacy unit values for calibration and comparison
  • Includes example conversions for user reference

Examples

  • 2 candela per square inch converts to 9738.9567 apostilb
  • 0.5 candela per square inch converts to 2434.7392 apostilb

Common Use Cases

  • Translating display brightness measurements between imperial and historical photometric units
  • Interpreting luminance data from older documentation or calibration standards
  • Analyzing instrument panel and avionics backlight brightness specified in candela per square inch
  • Referencing luminance of diffusely reflecting surfaces in historical lighting engineering literature
  • Supporting vintage display manufacturing and cinematography brightness reporting

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the input luminance value is accurately measured in candela per square inch
  • Understand that apostilb is a historical unit, so use it primarily for legacy data comparisons
  • Confirm that conversion aligns with the context of display or lighting engineering specifications
  • Use this tool for quick reference but consult modern SI unit conversions for current photometric work

Limitations

  • Apostilb is a non-SI, historical unit rarely used in modern photometry
  • Conversion accuracy depends on precise source area measurements in square inches

Frequently Asked Questions

What does candela per square inch measure?
Candela per square inch measures luminance, indicating luminous intensity emitted or reflected per square inch of surface area.

Why convert candela per square inch to apostilb?
The conversion helps reinterpret luminance values from imperial units into historical photometric units used in older specifications and calibration standards.

Is apostilb still commonly used in modern lighting?
No, apostilb is a historical unit with limited use today; most modern photometry prefers SI units like candela per square meter.

Key Terminology

Candela per Square Inch
A unit of luminance representing luminous intensity per square inch of surface area used in photometric and display engineering.
Apostilb
A non-SI, historical unit of luminance equal to 1/π candela per square meter, traditionally used in older photometric specifications.
Luminance
A measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a specified direction.
