What Is This Tool?
This converter assists in changing luminous intensity values from the candle (pentane) unit, based on pentane-fueled flame light, to the German candle unit, a historical measure used in German-speaking regions. It aids in understanding and comparing old lighting data.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminous intensity value measured in candle (pentane).
- Select candle (pentane) as the source unit and candle (German) [c (German)] as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to receive the equivalent value in German candles.
Key Features
- Facilitates conversion between two obsolete luminous intensity units used historically.
- Supports accurate interpretation of vintage photometric and lamp specifications.
- Browser-based and straightforward interface for quick unit conversion.
Examples
- 5 candle (pentane) equals 4.75 candle (German) [c (German)]
- 10 candle (pentane) equals 9.5 candle (German) [c (German)]
Common Use Cases
- Analyzing and comparing early 19th to early 20th-century photometric data recorded with different luminous intensity standards.
- Calibrating and reproducing historic lighting conditions for museums or restoration projects.
- Educational exploration of the history and evolution of lighting measurement units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the historical context and original measurement standards when interpreting converted values.
- Use this tool primarily for research, conservation, and educational purposes.
- Cross-reference converted data with modern candela values if greater precision is required.
Limitations
- Both units are outdated and non-SI, with definitions that depended on specific historical apparatus.
- Conversion accuracy may be affected by inconsistencies in original measurements.
- Not intended for modern technical applications requiring standard SI units.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is candle (pentane)?
- It is a historic luminous intensity unit based on the light from a standardized pentane-fuel flame used in early photometry and lamp testing.
- How does candle (German) differ from candle (pentane)?
- The candle (German) is an obsolete unit used in German-speaking countries, based on a standardized flame, measuring luminous intensity in a direction, differing slightly in definition and value from candle (pentane).
- Why do I need to convert between these two units?
- Conversion helps interpret and compare old lighting measurements recorded with different historical standards, which is important for restoration, museum work, or historical research.
Key Terminology
- Candle (pentane)
- A historical luminous intensity unit based on light emitted by a standardized pentane-fueled flame, used in early photometry.
- Candle (German) [c (German)]
- An obsolete German luminous intensity unit based on a standardized flame, historically used before adoption of the candela.
- Luminous Intensity
- A measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, perceived by the human eye.
