Converting from Knot (kn) to Speed of Sound in Steel (ssis)

What is Knot (kn)

A knot (kn) is a unit of speed commonly used in maritime and air navigation. It represents one nautical mile per hour. The knot is significant for measuring the speed of vessels and aircraft over the water or through the air, respectively. One knot translates to approximately 1.15078 miles per hour or 1.852 kilometers per hour.

What is Speed of Sound in Steel (ssis)

The speed of sound in steel (ssis) indicates how quickly sound travels through steel materials. This speed is critical in various engineering and construction applications, particularly in material testing and evaluation. The speed of sound in steel is generally around 5960 meters per second, though it can vary based on temperature and the specific type of steel used.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between knots (kn) and the speed of sound in steel (ssis), we can use the following formulas based on the default conversions:

• From kn to ssis:

  ssis=kn×0.00008631618

• From ssis to kn:

  kn=ssis×11585.31
