Millijoules per square centimeter to joules per square centimeter

Type a value in mJ/cm² to get it in J/cm² instantly.

0.04J/cm²

That's about the same as a UV water disinfection dose. A 1 mW/cm² source would need about 40 seconds to deliver it.

What it means

How big a dose is that?

Fluence is energy per area. Irradiance — watts per square meter — is the rate; multiply by the exposure time to get fluence.

The math

How to convert mJ/cm² to J/cm²

To convert millijoules per square centimeter to joules per square centimeter, multiply by 0.001.

Example: 40 mJ/cm² × 0.001 = 0.04 J/cm².

In the other direction, 1 J/cm² = 1,000 mJ/cm².
