Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure accurate input of Gamma values to maintain conversion reliability
  • Use this conversion when comparing legacy geomagnetic data with imperial unit-based specifications
  • Handle very small converted values carefully due to Gamma's scale relative to Weber per square inch
  • Refer to example values to verify the correctness of conversions
  • Be aware that Weber per square inch is a non-SI unit and might be interpreted differently across fields

Limitations

  • Gamma is a very small unit relative to Weber per square inch, resulting in extremely small converted values
  • Weber per square inch is a non-SI unit and may not be commonly used or universally recognized in scientific contexts
  • Interpretation of Weber per square inch values may vary depending on application or industry standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gamma used for?
Gamma is a legacy unit of magnetic flux density commonly used in geomagnetism to express small magnetic field strengths and temporal variations.

Why use Weber per square inch as a unit?
Weber per square inch is used in inch-based engineering contexts where magnetic flux is measured in webers and area in square inches, often in legacy or imperial-unit documentation.

How accurate is the conversion from Gamma to Weber per square inch?
The conversion is defined by the formula 1 Gamma = 6.4516e-13 Weber per square inch, but due to the small scale difference, converted values are very small and need careful handling.

Key Terminology

Gamma
A legacy unit of magnetic flux density equal to one nanotesla, used in geomagnetism.
Weber per square inch
A non-SI unit of magnetic flux density representing one weber distributed over one square inch.
Magnetic Flux Density
A measure of the magnetic field strength per unit area.
