What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform measurements of heat flux density from Btu (th)/hour/square foot into Btu (th)/second/square foot. It is designed for use in engineering, building science, and HVAC contexts where precise time-unit conversions enhance thermal analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the heat flux density value in Btu (th)/hour/square foot
  • Select the input and output units as Btu (th)/hour/square foot and Btu (th)/second/square foot respectively
  • Apply the conversion to get the equivalent heat flux density expressed per second

Key Features

  • Converts heat flux density units between hourly and per-second basis within Imperial measurements
  • Based on a specific conversion factor reflecting time unit change
  • Supports accurate representation of heat transfer rates per unit area
  • Helpful in building envelope, HVAC load calculations, and fire-exposure testing

Examples

  • Convert 10 Btu (th)/hour/square foot to Btu (th)/second/square foot: 10 × 0.0002777778 = 0.002777778 Btu (th)/second/square foot
  • Convert 50 Btu (th)/hour/square foot to Btu (th)/second/square foot: 50 × 0.0002777778 = 0.01388889 Btu (th)/second/square foot

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing heat loss or gain through windows, walls, and roofs in building science
  • Sizing HVAC loads based on thermal transfer through building envelopes
  • Specifying surface heat fluxes in fire testing and material flammability assessments
  • Quantifying heat loads on ducts and furnace surfaces in thermal system designs

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure all units are consistent when performing conversions to avoid errors
  • Use the precise conversion factor for time unit accuracy
  • Apply conversions to better match analysis time scales in engineering calculations
  • Be mindful that Imperial units need adjustments for SI-based equipment or formulas

Limitations

  • The small conversion factor requires careful handling to maintain unit consistency
  • Imperial units may not directly integrate with SI-based tools or measurement systems without further conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Btu (th)/hour/square foot measure?
It measures heat flux density as the amount of heat transferred per hour per square foot, used commonly in building science and HVAC.

Why convert to Btu (th)/second/square foot?
Converting to per-second units offers greater precision and is useful for detailed thermal analysis and real-time measurements.

Can I use this conversion for SI units?
This tool converts between two Imperial units; integrating with SI units requires additional conversions.

Key Terminology
