What Is This Tool?

This tool converts luminance measurements from candela per square inch to stilb, facilitating the translation of brightness values from imperial units to CGS photometric units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value measured in candela per square inch
  • Select the 'candela per square inch' as the input unit
  • Choose 'stilb [sb]' as the desired output unit
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent value in stilb

Key Features

  • Converts luminance units from candela per square inch to stilb [sb]
  • Supports analysis of historical photometric data and legacy scientific literature
  • Helps compare display brightness and backlight intensities in different measurement systems
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick unit conversions

Examples

  • 5 candela per square inch converts to approximately 0.77500155 stilb [sb]
  • 10 candela per square inch converts to approximately 1.5500031 stilb [sb]

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying brightness in display engineering for CRTs and early flat-panel screens
  • Analyzing luminance for avionics and automotive backlights or indicators
  • Comparing historical photometric data reported in CGS units with modern SI values
  • Conducting optical research involving bright light sources and reflective surfaces

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent measurement units when converting between inch-based and meter-based areas
  • Use the tool to bridge data from legacy publications to current measurement standards
  • Verify measurement conditions to maintain comparability across different datasets
  • Remember that stilb is less common in modern applications, so context matters

Limitations

  • Stilb is a CGS unit and may not be familiar or widely used in current practical applications
  • Differences in unit area measurement require careful handling to avoid inaccuracies
  • Conversion assumes uniform measurement conditions; variations can affect equivalence

Frequently Asked Questions

What does candela per square inch measure?
It measures the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per square inch in a specified direction, used mainly for photometric and display brightness evaluations.

Why convert candela per square inch to stilb?
Conversion allows for comparison and interpretation of luminance data across different unit systems, especially when dealing with legacy or historical photometric records.

Are stilb units commonly used today?
Stilb is a CGS unit less frequently used in modern practice, where SI units like candela per square meter are more common.

Key Terminology

Candela per square inch
A luminance unit quantifying luminous intensity per square inch of surface, used in photometry and display engineering.
Stilb [sb]
A CGS unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, used for photometric data in older literature and optical research.
Luminance
The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a specified direction per unit area.
