- Depends on accurate area measurement and unit definitions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does watt per square inch measure?
- It measures heat flux density as power in watts per unit area of one square inch, indicating intensity of heat transfer on small surfaces.
- Why convert from W/in² to Btu (IT)/hour/ft²?
- Converting to Btu (IT)/hour/ft² translates small-area power measurements into larger building-related heat transfer units used in thermal design and energy codes.
- Are there any assumptions when using this conversion?
- Yes, it assumes steady-state heat flux and uniform surface characteristics for accurate interpretation.
Key Terminology
- Watt per square inch (W/in²)
- A unit measuring heat flux density as watts transferred per one square inch of surface area.
- Btu (IT)/hour/square foot
- A unit indicating the rate of heat transfer per hour across one square foot based on the International Table British thermal unit.
- Heat flux density
- The amount of thermal power transferred per unit area, indicating intensity of heating or cooling.
