What are Sabin and Inch

A Sabin is a non-metric unit of sound absorption based on the absorption by one square foot of a perfectly absorbing surface, such as an open window. This unit is used in acoustical engineering to measure the effectiveness of materials in absorbing sound, where one Sabin equals one square foot of absorption area.

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It equals 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. Historically, an inch was also considered the equivalent of the width of a person's thumb. Today, it is standardized at exactly 25.4 millimeters.

History of Sabin and Inch

The concept of Sabin to Square Inch conversion originates from the need to translate acoustic absorption units (Sabins) to more commonly used area measurements (square inches). This conversion aids in the practical application of soundproofing materials and acoustic engineering projects.
