To convert barns to square inches, multiply the value by 1.55 × 10⁻²⁵. To go the other way, multiply square inches by 6.4516 × 10²⁴ to get barns.
| Barns (b) | Square Inches (in²) |
|---|---|
| 1 b | 1.55 × 10⁻²⁵ in² |
| 2 b | 3.10001 × 10⁻²⁵ in² |
| 5 b | 7.75002 × 10⁻²⁵ in² |
| 10 b | 1.55 × 10⁻²⁴ in² |
| 20 b | 3.10001 × 10⁻²⁴ in² |
| 50 b | 7.75002 × 10⁻²⁴ in² |
| 100 b | 1.55 × 10⁻²³ in² |
| 500 b | 7.75002 × 10⁻²³ in² |
| 1,000 b | 1.55 × 10⁻²² in² |
Barn (b). A barn is 10⁻²⁸ m², the unit particle physicists use for nuclear cross-sections.
Square inch (in²). A square inch is the area of a square with 1-inch sides (6.4516 cm²).
There are 1.55 × 10⁻²⁵ square inches in one barn.
Multiply the number of barns by 1.55 × 10⁻²⁵. For example, 10 barns equal 1.55 × 10⁻²⁴ square inches.
One square inch equals 6.4516 × 10²⁴ barns.
