- Select the source unit as Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F.
- Choose the target unit watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)].
- Click convert to get the equivalent value in watts per meter per kelvin.
Key Features
- Converts thermal conductivity between Imperial and metric units accurately.
- Supports building and HVAC material specification calculations.
- Browser-based and easy to use without software installation.
- Facilitates engineering analyses involving heat transfer properties.
Examples
- 2 Btu/(h·ft·°F) converts to approximately 3.4615 W/(m·K).
- 0.5 Btu/(h·ft·°F) converts to approximately 0.8654 W/(m·K).
Common Use Cases
- Specifying thermal conductivity for building materials like insulation and brick.
- Performing steady-state heat conduction calculations in building simulations.
- Translating thermal properties between Imperial and SI units for engineering analyses.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure consistent material thickness and temperature scale units to avoid conversion errors.
- Use the tool for steady-state conduction scenarios with uniform material properties.
- Verify converted values when working with international standards and regulations.
Limitations
- Unit differences in thickness (feet vs meters) and temperature (°F vs K) require caution.
- The tool assumes steady-state and isotropic conditions; transient or anisotropic cases need specialized methods.
- Imperial units are less common internationally, so careful verification is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F measure?
- It measures thermal conductivity as heat flow in Btu per hour through a 1-foot-thick material with 1 ft² area and a 1°F temperature difference.
- Why convert to watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)]?
- Because it is the SI derived unit widely used in international engineering and scientific applications for thermal conductivity.
- Is the conversion valid for transient heat transfer?
- No, the conversion assumes steady-state conduction and uniform properties, not transient or varying conditions.
