What Is This Tool?

This tool converts heat flux density values from watt per square meter (W/m²), the SI unit representing power per unit area, to calorie (IT) per second per square centimeter, a unit used in heat transfer particularly in older or discipline-specific contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the heat flux density value in watts per square meter (W/m²).
  • Select the output unit as calorie (IT) per second per square centimeter.
  • Click convert to see the equivalent value in calorie-based heat flux units.

Key Features

  • Converts heat flux values from W/m² to cal(IT)/s/cm² using a precise conversion factor.
  • Supports applications in thermal engineering, welding, laser machining, and calorimetry.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software.

Examples

  • 100 W/m² converts to 0.00238846 cal(IT)/s/cm²
  • 500 W/m² converts to 0.0119423 cal(IT)/s/cm²

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing solar irradiance in units relevant to photovoltaic research or solar assessments.
  • Reporting localized high heat fluxes in welding and laser machining experiments.
  • Converting experimental heat-flux data from older calorimetry studies using calorie units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify which heat flux unit is required for your analysis, especially when dealing with legacy data.
  • Use this tool to bridge SI units and calorie-based units found in historic or specialized literature.
  • Double-check converted values in critical thermal protection and fire testing applications.

Limitations

  • Calorie (IT) units are less common in modern engineering, which mainly uses SI units.
  • Rounding during conversion may affect precision when converting from watts to calories.
  • Best suited for interpreting specialized or older experimental results rather than general use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert from watt per square meter to calorie (IT) per second per square centimeter?
This conversion helps when working with older or discipline-specific data that uses calorie units instead of joules to express heat flux density.

Key Terminology

Watt per square meter (W/m²)
The SI unit measuring the rate of heat transfer power across a surface per unit area.
Calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter
A heat flux density unit quantifying transfer of one international-table calorie per second per square centimeter, often used in older or specialized thermal studies.
Heat flux density
The amount of heat energy transferred through a surface per unit area per unit time.
