What Is This Tool?
This tool enables users to convert luminance values from Stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit, to Apostilb (asb), a historical luminance unit. It helps translate brightness data between legacy measurements and older non-SI standards commonly used in optical research, cinematography, and lighting engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in Stilb you want to convert
- Choose Stilb as the 'From' unit and Apostilb as the 'To' unit
- Initiate the conversion to get the value expressed in Apostilb
- Review the result for use in your photometric analysis or comparison
Key Features
- Converts luminance units from Stilb to Apostilb accurately using established conversion rates
- Ideal for analyzing historical photometric data and legacy measurements
- Supports applications in optical research, lighting, and display manufacturing
- Browser-based and straightforward to use without needing installation
Examples
- 2 Stilb equals 62831.8530718 Apostilb
- 0.5 Stilb equals 15707.963267949 Apostilb
Common Use Cases
- Translating luminance readings from CGS-based data into non-SI historical units
- Comparing bright surface brightness in older optical research and lighting literature
- Interpreting display brightness values from historical cinematography materials
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the original unit for accurate data conversion
- Be aware of the historical nature of these units and their specialized contexts
- Consider surface properties and projection factors when applying the converted values
- Use this conversion mainly for legacy data review rather than modern photometric standards
Limitations
- Stilb and Apostilb are non-SI units mainly used historically or in specialized fields
- Modern standards favor candela per square metre (cd/m²) for luminance measurements
- Conversion precision may be affected by the approximate value of π and unit definitions
- Surface and projection characteristics can influence practical measurement outcomes beyond unit conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Stilb used for?
- Stilb is a CGS unit of luminance used to quantify luminous intensity per unit area, especially in historical photometric data and optical research involving bright surfaces.
- Why convert Stilb to Apostilb?
- Conversion from Stilb to Apostilb helps compare and interpret luminance values reported in different historical and technical units, facilitating analysis of legacy data.
- Are Stilb and Apostilb SI units?
- No, both Stilb and Apostilb are non-SI units primarily of historical or specialized use, with modern measurements often preferring candela per square metre.
Key Terminology
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS unit of luminance representing 10,000 candela per square metre, used to quantify luminous intensity per unit area from a surface.
- Apostilb (asb)
- A historical non-SI luminance unit equivalent to 1 divided by π candela per square metre, applied in older photometric contexts.
- Luminance
- A photometric measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
