About Amperes per inch

The ampere per inch (A/in) equals 1/0.0254 A/m ≈ 39.370 A/m. Standard unit in US magnetic core and inductor datasheets from manufacturers like Magnetics Inc. and Ferroxcube; B-H curves and core loss specifications for powder cores and ferrites are commonly plotted in Oe (H-axis) or A/in in North American catalogs. 1 A/in = 1/0.0254 A/m ≈ 39.37 A/m.

About Kilooersteds

The kilooersted (kOe) equals 10⁶/(4π) A/m ≈ 79 577 A/m. Standard unit for permanent magnet coercivity in North American and Japanese industry datasheets: AlNiCo magnets have Hᴄ = 1-2 kOe, hard ferrites 1.5-4 kOe, NdFeB 10-30 kOe, SmCo 15-30 kOe. X-band EPR spectrometers sweep H from 0 to ≈3.5 kOe. 1 kOe = 10⁶/(4π) A/m.
