What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms heat transfer coefficient measurements between two unit systems: from the imperial-based Btu (IT) per second per square foot per degree Fahrenheit to the metric-based kilocalorie (IT) per hour per square meter per degree Celsius. It supports engineering calculations and energy assessments across different measurement standards.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerical value in Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F you wish to convert
  • Select the input unit as Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F and the output unit as kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C
  • Initiate the conversion process to obtain the equivalent heat transfer coefficient
  • Review the converted result expressed in kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C

Key Features

  • Converts heat transfer coefficients from Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F to kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C
  • Uses a precise fixed conversion factor for accurate unit translation
  • Supports applications in HVAC design, building energy calculations, and heat exchanger analysis
  • Browser-based, requiring no installation
  • Easy to use with straightforward input and output

Examples

  • 2 Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F converts to 35153.48 kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C
  • 0.5 Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F converts to 8788.37 kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying convective heat-transfer coefficients for HVAC and refrigeration components in US customary units
  • Rating overall heat-transfer coefficients of heat exchangers or coated surfaces in metric units
  • Calculating heat loss or gain through building envelopes across different unit systems
  • Sizing HVAC systems and estimating steady heat transfer in energy simulations
  • Comparing insulation effectiveness or heat exchanger surface performance across regional datasets

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct input units are selected before performing conversion
  • Use this converter to bridge calculations between imperial and metric engineering standards
  • Apply the conversion factor as provided without approximations for consistent results
  • Cross-check converted values when used in critical HVAC and building energy designs
  • Be mindful of temperature scale differences when interpreting results

Limitations

  • Conversion involves different temperature scales (°F and °C) and area units requiring precise use of the stated conversion rate
  • Does not account for variations in atmospheric conditions or material-specific properties impacting practical heat transfer
  • Intended for unit conversion only, practical engineering calculations may require additional factors
