Discover the simplicity of converting barn units to circular inches using the b to circin tool, crafted by Newtum for precise and easy calculations.
A barn is a unit of area measurement used in nuclear physics to quantify the cross-sectional area of nuclei and nucleon scattering. It is not a standard SI unit but is accepted for use with SI. One barn is equivalent to an area of 10^-28 square meters, which is approximately the size of a uranium nucleus.
Definition of CircularInchA circular inch is a unit of area measurement, specifically the area of a circle with a diameter of one inch. It is not a standard SI unit of measure. One circular inch is equal to the area of a circle with a one-inch diameter, which can be calculated using the formula pi/4 times the square of the diameter, or approximately 0.7854 square inches.
| Barn (b) | Circular Inch (circin) |
|---|---|
| 1e-28 b | 1.273e-29 circin |
| 1e-27 b | 1.273e-28 circin |
| 1e-26 b | 1.273e-27 circin |
| 1e-25 b | 1.273e-26 circin |
| 1e-24 b | 1.273e-25 circin |
| 1e-23 b | 1.273e-24 circin |
| 1e-22 b | 1.273e-23 circin |
| 1e-21 b | 1.273e-22 circin |
| 1e-20 b | 1.273e-21 circin |
| 1e-19 b | 1.273e-20 circin |
Example 1:
Convert 1 b to circin:
1 b = 1.273e-29 circin
Example 2:
Convert 5 b to circin:
5 b = 5 × 1.273e-29 circin = 6.365e-29 circin
