What Is This Tool?

This tool converts magnetic flux density measurements from weber per square inch (Wb/in²), a modern non-SI unit, to line per square inch, a legacy unit used in historical magnetic and electrical engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in Weber per square inch (Wb/in²) that you want to convert
  • Select the output unit as line per square inch
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in line per square inch
  • Use the results to interpret or document magnetic flux density in legacy units

Key Features

  • Converts between Weber per square inch and line per square inch units
  • Supports magnetic flux density measurements used in engineering and scientific applications
  • Handles conversions relevant to both modern and legacy units
  • Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output fields

Examples

  • Convert 2 Wb/in²: 2 × 100,000,000 = 200,000,000 line/in²
  • Convert 0.5 Wb/in²: 0.5 × 100,000,000 = 50,000,000 line/in²

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying magnetic induction on inch-based engineering drawings or datasheets
  • Converting legacy magnetic measurements to SI for magnet design and testing
  • Documenting and analyzing historical magnetic data in older technical literature
  • Interpreting legacy geomagnetic or magnetogram records
  • Assessing magnetic specifications of vintage recording heads and equipment

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the context and relevance when using legacy units in modern applications
  • Confirm unit definitions carefully for accurate conversions
  • Use this tool to bridge measurements between imperial and older CGS-derived units
  • Remember that line/square inch is considered obsolete and mainly for historical data analysis

Limitations

  • Line per square inch is an obsolete unit with restricted contemporary use
  • Conversions may have precision constraints related to unit relevance and context
  • Should be applied cautiously when referencing older technical sources or legacy systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 Wb/in² represent?
One Weber per square inch represents one weber of magnetic flux distributed over an area of one square inch, a non-SI magnetic flux density unit.

Why convert Wb/in² to line/in²?
Converting from Wb/in² to line/in² helps interpret magnetic flux density values in legacy documentation and equipment data that use older non-SI units.

Is line per square inch still widely used?
No, line per square inch is an obsolete legacy unit mainly found in historical and older technical contexts.

Key Terminology

Weber per square inch (Wb/in²)
A non-SI unit of magnetic flux density representing one weber distributed over one square inch of area, used in inch-based flux measurements.
Line per square inch
An obsolete CGS-derived unit equal to one magnetic line of flux per square inch; historically used in magnetics and electrical engineering.
Magnetic flux density
A measurement of magnetic field strength expressed as flux per unit area, indicating the concentration of magnetic lines of force.
