What Is This Tool?

This tool converts magnetic flux density measurements from line per square inch, a legacy CGS unit, to line per square centimeter, another historical CGS unit. It helps interpret older technical data and specifications in magnetics and related fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value measured in line per square inch.
  • Select the output unit as line per square centimeter.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in line per square centimeter.
  • Review the result to interpret your historical magnetic flux density data.

Key Features

  • Converts magnetic flux density from line/square inch to line/square centimeter.
  • Supports legacy units commonly found in older magnetics and electrical engineering literature.
  • Easy-to-use, browser-based unit converter for historical data interpretation.
  • Provides clear conversion rates and example calculations.

Examples

  • 10 line/square inch = 1.5500031 line/square centimeter
  • 5 line/square inch = 0.77500155 line/square centimeter

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting magnetic flux density in historical magnetic core and transformer specifications.
  • Analyzing legacy geomagnetic or magnetogram datasets recorded before the adoption of SI units.
  • Converting old magnetic recording head performance metrics to compatible CGS units.
  • Reporting magnetic field strengths in older scientific notes and research related to electromagnets.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter primarily for legacy data interpretation, not modern measurements.
  • Verify the context of historical magnetic flux density values before converting.
  • Understand that conversion results are approximate due to the obsolete nature of these units.
  • Cross-check converted values with recognized CGS or SI standards where possible.

Limitations

  • Both line/square inch and line/square centimeter are obsolete units replaced largely by tesla.
  • Conversion factors are approximate and may vary slightly with historical measurement differences.
  • The tool is intended for interpreting historical or legacy data, not for current practical measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a line per square inch in magnetic flux density?
It is an obsolete unit equal to one magnetic line of flux per square inch, formerly used in magnetics and electrical engineering.

Why convert line/square inch to line/square centimeter?
Converting enables interpretation of legacy magnetic flux density data in units consistent with CGS-based values such as gauss.

Are these units still used in modern applications?
No, both units are largely replaced by the SI unit tesla and mainly relevant for analyzing historical datasets.

Key Terminology

Line/square inch
A historical CGS unit representing one magnetic line of flux per square inch of area, used in older electrical engineering and magnetics.
Line/square centimeter
A historical CGS unit equal to one magnetic line of force per square centimeter, numerically equivalent to one gauss.
Maxwell
The unit of magnetic flux in the CGS system, where one line of magnetic flux equals one maxwell.
