FAQ

What is the conversion factor from asb to fL?
1 asb equals 0.09290304 fL. To convert, multiply the value in apostilbs by 0.09290304.
How do I convert 1 asb to fL?
1 asb = 0.092903 fL. For any value, multiply by 0.09290304.
How do I convert fL back to asb?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10.76391. So 1 fL = 10.7639 asb.
When would I need to convert apostilb to foot-lambert?
Luminance conversions between asb and fL are used in display engineering, road and traffic-signal design, and photometric measurement of luminous surfaces. cd/m² (nit) is the SI standard; foot-lambert and stilb appear in legacy datasheets and specialist optics work.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
