Millijoules per square centimeter to joules per square meter

Type a value in mJ/cm² to get it in J/m² instantly.

400J/m²

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/m²

To convert millijoules per square centimeter to joules per square meter, multiply by 10.

Example: 40 mJ/cm² × 10 = 400 J/m².

In the other direction, 1 J/m² = 0.1 mJ/cm².
