Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to convert from calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter/°C to watt/square meter/°C?
Converting to watt/square meter/°C allows for the use of heat transfer coefficients in standard SI units that are widely accepted in engineering and scientific calculations.

Can this conversion be used for absolute temperature values?
No, this conversion applies to temperature differences, as the units per degree Celsius and per Kelvin are equivalent only for temperature differences.

Where is the calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter/°C unit still used?
This unit appears mainly in older technical literature and legacy experimental data related to convective heat transfer.

Key Terminology

Calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter/°C
A unit of convective heat transfer coefficient where one International-Table calorie is transferred per second per square centimeter per degree Celsius temperature difference.
Watt/square meter/°C
A heat transfer coefficient unit quantifying power transferred per square meter per degree Celsius temperature difference, commonly used for convective or overall thermal conductance.
Heat Transfer Coefficient
A measure of heat flux per unit area per unit temperature difference between a surface and surrounding fluid.
