Converting Speed of Sound in Water to Speed of Sound in Steel

What is Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw)

The Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) is the velocity at which sound waves propagate through water. It is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure. The standard conversion for ssiw to any other unit is 1 (ssiw) = 0.2486577 (ssis).

What is Speed of Sound in Steel (ssis)

The Speed of Sound in Steel (ssis) is the speed at which sound waves travel through steel material. Steel has a higher density compared to water, which affects the speed of sound propagation. The standard conversion for ssis to any other unit is 1 (ssis) = 4.021592 (ssiw).

Conversion Formulas

The general conversion formulas for converting between Speed of Sound in Water (ssiw) and Speed of Sound in Steel (ssis) are as follows:

• To convert from ssiw to ssis:
  ssis=ssiw∗4.021592
• To convert from ssis to ssiw:
  ssiw=ssis∗0.2486577

Examples

1. Converting 7 (ssiw) to ssis:

   • 7 (ssiw)=7∗4.021592=28.15115 (ssis)

2. Converting 9 (ssis) to ssiw:

   • 9 (ssis)=9∗0.2486577=2.237919 (ssiw)

3. Converting 4 (ssiw) to ssis:

   • 4 (ssiw)=4∗4.021592=16.08637 (ssis)
