About Coulombs per square foot
The coulomb per square foot (C/ft²) equals exactly 1/(0.3048)² C/m² ≈ 10.7639 C/m², used in North American electrostatic specifications for insulating flooring, workbench surfaces, and static-dissipative materials. ANSI/ESD standards specify electrostatic charge decay and surface charge limits in C/ft²; antistatic mat and flooring performance is rated in C/ft². 1 C/ft² ≈ 10.764 C/m².
About Coulombs per square metre
The coulomb per square metre (C/m²) is the SI coherent unit of surface charge density, equal to 1 A·s·m⁻². A parallel-plate capacitor with 1 C/m² on each plate produces a gap field of 1/ε₀ ≈ 113 GV/m; realistic capacitor plate densities are 10-100 µC/m²; charge density on a sphere at electrical breakdown of air is about 27 µC/m². 1 C/m² = 10³ mC/m² = 10⁶ µC/m².
