Discover seamless conversion from Section to Sabin, presented by Newtum. Dive into our intuitive tool and satisfy your curiosities about area measurement conversion with ease.
In land measurement, a Section is a unit of area typically used in the United States and Canada. It is defined as an area nominally one square mile, containing 640 acres. This term originates from the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), which was used to survey and divide land for sale and settlement.
Definition of SabinA Sabin is a non-metric unit of sound absorption used in acoustical engineering. One Sabin is equal to one square foot of a perfectly absorptive surface—such as an open window—and is named after Wallace Clement Sabine, a pioneer in acoustical research. It measures the effectiveness of materials in absorbing sound.
| Section (acres) | Sabin (ft²) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 27,878,400 |
| 5 | 139,392,000 |
| 10 | 278,784,000 |
| 20 | 557,568,000 |
| 50 | 1,393,920,000 |
| 100 | 2,787,840,000 |
| 200 | 5,575,680,000 |
| 500 | 13,939,200,000 |
| 1000 | 27,878,400,000 |
| 5000 | 139,392,000,000 |
1 Section = 27,878,400 ft² (Sabin)
1 Acre = 43,560 ft² (Sabin)
Example 1:
Convert 1 Section to Sabin:
1 Section = 1 × 27,878,400 ft² = 27,878,400 ft² (Sabin)
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 Section to Sabin:
0.5 Section = 0.5 × 27,878,400 ft² = 13,939,200 ft² (Sabin)
The Section to Sabin conversion is a practical tool in both land measurement and acoustical engineering. While the Section has its roots in land division during the 19th century, the Sabin unit was introduced in the early 20th century to quantify sound absorption in architectural acoustics. This converter bridges the gap between these two disparate fields, highlighting their historical and practical significance.
Harness the power of our Section to Sabin Converter to facilitate your projects in land development and acoustical design.
Example 1: Converting 2 Sections to Sabins yields 55,756,800 ft².
Example 2: Converting 0.25 Sections to Sabins results in 6,969,600 ft².
