What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values from maxwell per square inch (Mx/in^2) to line per square inch, both non-SI units measuring magnetic flux density. It aids in interpreting and converting legacy magnetic data recorded using imperial area units based on the CGS system.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic flux density value measured in maxwell per square inch.
  • Select the source unit as maxwell/square inch [Mx/in^2].
  • Choose the target unit as line/square inch.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in line per square inch.
  • Use the result to interpret legacy magnetic measurements or technical references.

Key Features

  • Direct conversion between maxwell/square inch and line/square inch units.
  • Supports interpretation of historical and legacy magnetics data.
  • Useful for magnetic coating studies and magnetic recording specifications.
  • Browser-based and simple to use for engineers and researchers.
  • Handles units that are equivalent in value without complex formulas.

Examples

  • 5 maxwell/square inch [Mx/in^2] equals 5 line/square inch.
  • 0.1 maxwell/square inch [Mx/in^2] equals 0.1 line/square inch.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating CGS-based legacy magnetic flux density data recorded with imperial units.
  • Analyzing magnetic coatings or laboratory samples measured in square inches.
  • Converting older magnetic recording specifications and magnetics engineering data.
  • Interpreting historical geomagnetic or magnetogram data before widespread SI adoption.
  • Evaluating legacy specifications for magnetic recording heads and tape/drive performance.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the original units are maxwell/square inch before converting.
  • Use this conversion primarily for legacy data interpretation, not modern measurements.
  • Verify historical data accuracy as rounding may affect legacy unit precision.
  • Supplement conversions with SI unit calculations if tesla values are required.
  • Understand that both units are equivalent, so the numerical value remains unchanged.

Limitations

  • Both units are legacy CGS-based measures and not part of the SI standard.
  • The conversion applies only between units with equivalent values, not to SI units directly.
  • Precision may be affected by rounding from legacy documentation or instruments.
  • The tool does not perform conversion involving SI units like tesla without extra steps.
  • Use is mainly limited to interpreting historical or legacy data rather than modern measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are maxwell/square inch and line/square inch different units?
No, both units are equivalent legacy CGS-based measures of magnetic flux density, differing only in name.

Why is this conversion important?
It helps interpret and translate older magnetic flux density data recorded using imperial units in legacy documentation.

Can I use this conversion for modern magnetic field measurements?
These units are obsolete and mainly used for historical data; modern measurements typically use SI units like tesla.

Key Terminology

Maxwell/square inch [Mx/in^2]
A measure of magnetic flux density defined as magnetic flux in maxwells per square inch of area; a legacy CGS-based unit.
Line/square inch
A non-SI, obsolete CGS-based unit equal to one magnetic line of flux per square inch, numerically equivalent to maxwell/square inch.
Magnetic flux density
The amount of magnetic flux passing through a unit area, often measured in tesla in SI or maxwell/line per square inch in legacy CGS units.
