What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms luminance values from nit (a candela per square meter unit) into candela per square inch, a unit commonly used in certain display and photometric contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in nits into the input field
  • Select nit as the source unit and candela per square inch as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent brightness in candela/square inch

Key Features

  • Converts luminance units from nit to candela/square inch with ease
  • Supports applications in display engineering and photometry
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installations
  • Bridges metric and customary unit systems for brightness measurements

Examples

  • 10 Nit [nt] equals 0.0064516 Candela per square inch
  • 100 Nit [nt] equals 0.064516 Candela per square inch

Common Use Cases

  • Determining brightness for CRTs and early flat-panel displays
  • Setting luminance levels for automotive and avionics instrument panels
  • Photometric evaluation of small luminous indicators with area in square inches

Tips & Best Practices

  • Pay attention to unit area differences—square meters versus square inches—when interpreting results
  • Use decimal precision carefully to minimize rounding inaccuracies
  • Double-check converted values when applying them in critical display and lighting designs

Limitations

  • Conversion involves switching between non-SI and customary units, which can affect precision
  • Measurement scales differ due to unit area sizes; this requires careful consideration
  • Candela per square inch is less common in modern metric-oriented environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a nit in luminance measurement?
A nit is a non-SI unit of luminance equal to one candela per square meter, measuring brightness emitted or reflected from a surface.

Why convert nit to candela per square inch?
Converting nit to candela per square inch allows users to express luminance using customary units when working with displays or instrumentation sized in inches.

Are there any drawbacks when converting between these units?
Yes, converting between non-SI and customary units may introduce rounding effects and requires awareness of differences in surface area measurements.

Key Terminology

Nit
A non-SI unit of luminance equivalent to one candela per square meter, used to describe brightness from surfaces.
Candela per square inch
A luminance unit measuring luminous intensity distributed over one square inch of a surface, used in photometric and display applications.
