Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert from foot-based to inch-based Btu units?
Inch-based units align with common insulation thicknesses and material specifications used in North American building practices.

What is the conversion rate between these units?
One Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F equals twelve Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F.

Can this tool be used for transient heat transfer calculations?
No, the conversion is valid only under steady-state heat flow conditions with uniform material thickness.

Key Terminology

Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F
A unit of thermal conductivity representing heat flow through a one-foot thick material with one square foot area for a 1°F temperature difference.
Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F
A thermal conductivity unit defining heat transfer through a one-inch thick section per square foot area for a one degree Fahrenheit temperature difference.
Steady-State Heat Flow
A condition where temperature and heat flow remain constant over time within a material.
