About Coulombs per square inch

The coulomb per square inch (C/in²) equals exactly 1/(0.0254)² C/m² ≈ 1 550.003 C/m², used in US insulation and dielectric material withstand specifications. Dielectric strength ratings for polymeric films in US datasheets are sometimes cross-referenced with C/in² for high-voltage applications; electrostatic precipitator collector plate performance is quoted in C/in² in some NEMA standards. 1 C/in² ≈ 1 550 C/m².

About Kilocoulombs per square metre

The kilocoulomb per square metre (kC/m²) equals 10³ C/m², the scale for electrochemical processes involving heavy plating, electrolytic metal dissolution, and pulsed-power surface ablation. Thick copper electroforming runs accumulate kC/m²-scale charge; electrochemical machining (ECM) removes material at multi-kC/m² charge densities; large electrolytic capacitor anode foils are etched at kC/m². 1 kC/m² = 10³ C/m².
