What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms magnetic flux density values from line/square inch, an obsolete CGS-based unit, into weber/square inch [Wb/in^2], a unit relating magnetic flux in webers over one square inch of area. It facilitates the updating of historical or legacy measurements into a form more compatible with modern magnetic analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in line/square inch that you want to convert
  • Select the unit line/square inch as your input unit
  • Choose weber/square inch [Wb/in^2] as the output unit
  • Initiate the conversion to receive the result in Wb/in^2
  • Review provided examples to confirm accuracy and context

Key Features

  • Converts magnetic flux density from line/square inch to weber/square inch [Wb/in^2]
  • Supports legacy and historical unit conversion needs for magnetic data
  • Browser-based and easy to use for electrical engineering and magnetics
  • Includes practical examples demonstrating conversion calculations
  • Offers clarification on unit definitions and relevant use cases

Examples

  • Convert 5 line/square inch to Wb/in^2: 5 × 1e-8 = 5e-8 Wb/in^2
  • Convert 100 line/square inch to Wb/in^2: 100 × 1e-8 = 1e-6 Wb/in^2

Common Use Cases

  • Describing magnetic flux density in older technical references for magnetic cores and transformers
  • Interpreting historical geomagnetic or magnetogram data recorded prior to SI adoption
  • Updating or converting legacy magnetic recording specifications involving tape or drive performance
  • Specifying magnetic induction on inch-based engineering drawings or datasheets with flux in webers
  • Converting imperial-unit magnetic measurements for modern magnet design and testing

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values are precise since the conversion factor is very small (1e-8)
  • Use this tool to bridge legacy CGS-derived units to more modern magnetic flux density units
  • Double-check final results when dealing with historical data to account for measurement uncertainty
  • Consider further conversion to tesla if you require full SI unit compliance
  • Refer to examples and definitions to maintain clarity in magnetic flux density documentation

Limitations

  • Line/square inch is an obsolete, legacy unit which may introduce uncertainty if data is imprecise
  • Weber per square inch is still a non-SI unit; further conversion to tesla might be needed for some applications
  • Very small conversion factor requires careful attention to numerical precision in calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

What does line/square inch represent in magnetic units?
Line/square inch is a non-SI unit representing one magnetic line of flux (one maxwell) per square inch, used historically in magnetics and electrical engineering.

Why convert line/square inch to weber/square inch?
Converting enables updating obsolete CGS-based magnetic flux densities to units more compatible with modern engineering and scientific analysis.

Is weber/square inch an SI unit?
No, weber per square inch is a non-SI unit that corresponds to magnetic flux over a square inch area and relates directly to tesla, the SI unit.

Key Terminology

Line/square inch
A non-SI magnetic flux density unit equal to one magnetic line of flux per square inch; historically used in magnetics and electrical engineering.
Weber/square inch [Wb/in^2]
A unit of magnetic flux density denoting one weber of magnetic flux per square inch of area; non-SI but directly related to tesla.
Magnetic flux density
A measure of the strength of magnetic field over a given area, typically expressed in tesla, webers per square meter, or other units.
