Converting from Speed of sound in air (ssia) to Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

What is Speed of sound in air (ssia)

Speed of sound in air, denoted as ssia, refers to the velocity at which sound waves travel through the air medium. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second.

What is Speed of sound in steel (ssis)

Speed of sound in steel, denoted as ssis, represents the velocity at which sound waves propagate through steel material. Steel being a denser medium compared to air, has a significantly higher speed of sound, ranging from 5,920 to 6,520 meters per second depending on the steel type.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from speed of sound in air (ssia) to speed of sound in steel (ssis), we use the following formula:

To convert in the reverse direction (ssis to ssia), the formula is:

Examples

• Converting 11 (ssia) to speed of sound in steel (ssis):

  11(ssia)=11×17.51447=192.6592(ssis)

• Converting 6 (ssia) to speed of sound in steel (ssis):

  6(ssia)=6×17.51447=105.0868(ssis)

• Converting 13 (ssia) to speed of sound in steel (ssis):

  13(ssia)=13×17.51447=227.6881(ssis)
