Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter to align modern measurements with older technical literature
-
Be cautious when using line per square inch unit due to its obsolete and approximate nature
-
Verify context when interpreting legacy data to avoid confusion from non-SI units
Limitations
-
Line per square inch is an outdated and non-SI unit that may cause misunderstanding
-
Conversion assumes uniform distribution of magnetic flux, which may not reflect complex fields
-
Less precise than SI units and should be applied carefully in modern technical work
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the weber per square meter unit used for?
-
It is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux density used to specify magnetic field strength in applications like MRI scanners, electric machine cores, transformers, and geomagnetic measurements.
-
Why convert weber per square meter to line per square inch?
-
Conversion helps interpret and compare modern magnetic flux density readings with older technical documents and legacy data that used line per square inch units.
-
Is line per square inch an SI unit?
-
No, line per square inch is a non-SI, obsolete unit derived from the CGS system, mainly used historically in magnetics and electrical engineering.
Key Terminology
-
Weber per square meter
-
The SI derived unit of magnetic flux density equal to one weber of magnetic flux spread over one square meter, identical to the tesla.
-
Line per square inch
-
A non-SI, legacy unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell per square inch, used historically in magnetics and electrical engineering.
-
Magnetic flux density
-
A measure of the strength and concentration of magnetic field lines over a given area.
