Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis) | Speed

What is Mach number ((M)*)

The Mach number ((M)*), named after the physicist Ernst Mach, is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium it is traveling through. It is commonly used in aerospace engineering to describe the speed of aircraft and spacecraft.

What is Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

The Speed of sound in steel (ssis) refers to the velocity at which sound travels through steel material. This parameter is crucial in various industrial applications, including non-destructive testing, ultrasonic imaging, and structural health monitoring.

Conversion Formulas

• Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis):
  ssis=0.05709564×((M)∗)
• Converting from Speed of sound in steel (ssis) to Mach number ((M)*):
  ((M)∗)=17.51447×ssis

Examples

1. Converting 6 ((M)*) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis):

   ssis=0.05709564×6

   ssis=0.3425738 (ssis)
