What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms luminance measurements from the Stilb (sb), an older CGS unit, into Candela per square meter (cd/m²), the modern SI unit. It helps interpret and compare luminance data reported in different unit systems.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in Stilb (sb) that you want to convert.
- Select Stilb as the from-unit and Candela per square meter as the to-unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent luminance in Candela per square meter.
Key Features
- Accurate conversion between Stilb and Candela per square meter using established conversion rates.
- Supports translation of historical photometric data into contemporary SI units.
- Useful for optical research, display calibration, and lighting design applications.
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick luminance value conversions.
Examples
- 0.5 Stilb equals 5000 Candela per square meter (0.5 × 10000 cd/m²).
- 2 Stilb equals 20000 Candela per square meter (2 × 10000 cd/m²).
Common Use Cases
- Translating luminance data from older publications reported in Stilb to modern SI units.
- Comparing historical photometric measurements with current display and lighting standards.
- Assisting research efforts where legacy luminance values need integration with modern instrumentation.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify units carefully to ensure correct input and output for conversion accuracy.
- Use the tool to cross-reference luminance values when working with both historical and current data.
- Be aware of measurement context and calibration differences between older and modern instruments.
Limitations
- Stilb is a CGS unit rarely used in current standards, requiring precise conversion steps.
- Measurement accuracy can be influenced by calibration variations of equipment across different eras.
- Conversion assumes a uniform luminance surface and consistent observation direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Stilb (sb)?
- The Stilb (sb) is a CGS unit of luminance representing 10,000 candela per square meter, measuring luminous intensity emitted or reflected from surfaces.
