What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates the transformation of luminance values from stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit, into blondel, an obsolete unit used in early photometry. It aids in interpreting historical luminance data by bridging older measurement units with others found in legacy literature.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb) you want to convert.
- Select 'stilb [sb]' as the source unit and 'blondel' as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in blondel.
- Review the conversion result to interpret historical luminance measurements.
- Repeat as needed for other values or comparison tasks.
Key Features
- Converts luminance values between stilb and blondel units accurately.
- Supports analysis of historical photometric data reported in obsolete units.
- Helps reconcile differences across various legacy luminance measurement systems.
- Easy-to-use interface suitable for researchers and engineers.
- Browser-based tool that requires no installation.
Examples
- Converting 2 stilb: 2 stilb × 31,415.926535898 = 62,831.853071796 blondel
- Converting 0.5 stilb: 0.5 stilb × 31,415.926535898 = 15,707.963267949 blondel
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historical photometric data recorded using CGS units.
- Comparing luminance values in scientific literature predating SI units.
- Analyzing legacy instrumentation specifications and research papers.
- Converting early 20th-century photometric measurements for modern review.
- Ensuring consistency in archival optical research datasets.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the source unit before converting to avoid errors.
- Be cautious of rounding errors due to the large conversion factor.
- Use the tool primarily for historical data since both units are obsolete.
- Cross-check results with modern SI units (candela per square metre) where possible.
- Consider the context of measurement when interpreting converted values.
Limitations
- Stilb and blondel are obsolete and replaced by SI units like candela/m².
- Conversion precision can be affected by historical measurement methods.
- Large conversion factor may amplify rounding inaccuracies in data.
- May not fully represent modern photometric measurement standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the stilb unit used for?
- Stilb is a CGS photometric unit of luminance used historically to measure luminous intensity per unit area in a given direction.
- Why convert stilb to blondel?
- Conversion helps interpret or compare luminance data from older CGS-based units to early photometric units like blondel, improving compatibility of legacy datasets.
- Are stilb and blondel still used today?
- No, both units are obsolete and have been superseded by the SI unit candela per square metre.
Key Terminology
- Stilb [sb]
- A CGS photometric luminance unit equal to 10,000 candela per square metre, used historically to quantify luminous intensity per surface area.
- Blondel
- An obsolete luminance unit named after André Blondel, used in early 20th-century photometry before the adoption of SI units.
- Luminance
- The measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a specific direction.
