What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert luminance values measured in stilb (sb), a CGS unit, into candela per square inch (cd/in²), a unit frequently used in photometric and display engineering contexts to express surface brightness.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in stilb (sb) you want to convert.
- Select stilb as the 'from' unit and candela per square inch as the 'to' unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in candela per square inch.
- Review the result representing brightness per square inch as used in display and instrumentation fields.
Key Features
- Converts luminance between stilb and candela per square inch accurately.
- Supports understanding of legacy photometric data in modern unit terms.
- Helpful for display brightness calibration and optical measurements.
- Easy to use with straightforward input and output interfaces.
Examples
- 2 Stilb [sb] equals 12.9032 Candela/square inch.
- 0.5 Stilb [sb] equals 3.2258 Candela/square inch.
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical CGS luminance measurements into units suitable for modern display engineering.
- Specifying brightness for CRTs and older flat-panel screens in photometric research.
- Describing luminance of instrument panel and automotive backlights measured in square inches.
- Comparing surface brightness in optical research and instrumentation with legacy data.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify the uniformity of luminance distribution when converting between units.
- Use this converter to aid interpretation of older photometric literature and specifications.
- Consider the area unit differences carefully to ensure accuracy in high-precision applications.
- Employ conversions primarily for comparative and display engineering tasks involving inch-based surfaces.
Limitations
- Stilb is a CGS unit largely replaced by SI units, so use requires interpreting legacy data properly.
- Conversion assumes consistent luminance distribution without accounting for angular or spectral changes.
- Units differ by area standards (square meter vs. square inch), requiring precision for exact applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is stilb used for?
- Stilb is a CGS unit of luminance used historically in photometric studies and optical research to describe brightness per square meter.
- Why convert stilb to candela per square inch?
- Converting stilb to candela per square inch helps interpret legacy data for display technologies and instrumentation that measure brightness over inch-based areas.
- Does this conversion consider light angle or spectrum?
- No, the conversion assumes a uniform distribution of luminance and does not account for directional or spectral variations.
Key Terminology
- Stilb [sb]
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10,000 candela per square meter, used to quantify luminous intensity per unit area.
- Candela per square inch (cd/in²)
- A luminance unit measuring luminous intensity per one square inch of surface, used in photometric and display applications.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
