Sabin


A sabin is a unit of sound absorption area used in acoustics. It measures how much sound is absorbed by a surface.



  • 1 sabin equals 1 square foot of perfectly absorbing surface (in imperial units) or 1 square meter (in metric units).



  • It helps quantify the acoustic absorption of materials in rooms or auditoriums.



Sabins are important in designing spaces with good sound quality by controlling echoes and reverberation.



Barn [b]


A barn (b) is a very small unit of area used mainly in nuclear and particle physics to measure the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and particles.

1 barn = 10⁻²⁸ square meters (m²).

The name "barn" humorously refers to something “as big as a barn” in the tiny world of atomic scales, despite its extremely small size.
