Discover the ease of transforming square feet into circular mils with our Sabin to Circular Mil Converter, designed to pique your curiosity and streamline your calculations.
A Sabin is a non-metric unit of sound absorption used in acoustical engineering. One Sabin is equivalent to one square foot of a perfectly absorbing surface. Named after the American physicist Wallace Clement Sabine, the term 'Sabin' honors his pioneering work in acoustical design and his formulation of the empirical Sabine equation for reverberation time.
Definition of Circular MilA Circular Mil is a unit of area, commonly used in the United States to denote wire cross-sectional areas. Defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one-thousandth of an inch), it is particularly useful in expressing wire gauges, which are proportional to the conductive area and thus the current-carrying capacity.
| Sabin (ft²) | Circular Mil (cmil) |
|---|---|
| 1 ft² | 1,273,239,544.74 cmil |
| 2 ft² | 2,546,479,089.48 cmil |
| 3 ft² | 3,819,718,634.22 cmil |
| 4 ft² | 5,092,958,178.96 cmil |
| 5 ft² | 6,366,197,723.70 cmil |
| 6 ft² | 7,639,437,268.44 cmil |
| 7 ft² | 8,912,676,813.18 cmil |
| 8 ft² | 10,185,916,357.92 cmil |
| 9 ft² | 11,459,155,902.66 cmil |
| 10 ft² | 12,732,395,447.40 cmil |
1 ft² = 1,273,239,544.74 cmil
1 cmil = 7.853981634e-10 ft²
Example 1:
convert 10 ft² to cmil:
10 ft² = 10 × 1,273,239,544.74 cmil = 12,732,395,447.40 cmil
Example 2:
convert 25 ft² to cmil:
25 ft² = 25 × 1,273,239,544.74 cmil = 31,830,988,618.50 cmil
The Sabin to Circular Mil Converter traces its origins to the needs of engineers and technicians who work with materials in acoustical engineering and electrical wiring. As both units serve different but specific purposes within their fields, the converter emerged as a tool to aid these professionals in accurately converting sound absorption measurements to cross-sectional areas of wires.
