What Is This Tool?

This converter enables users to convert thermal conductivity measurements from Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F, which is based on thermochemical British thermal units, to Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F, a close counterpart using the International Table British thermal units. It supports more consistent engineering calculations across different unit standards.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value you wish to convert in Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • Select the unit you want to convert from and the target unit Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • Click the convert button to see the corresponding value in Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • Use the result for heat transfer or material property analyses requiring consistent unit standards.

Key Features

  • Converts between two Imperial units of thermal conductivity used in US customary and British-Imperial systems.
  • Based on established unit definitions relevant to building materials and insulation performance.
  • Supports heat transfer calculations in engineering and HVAC analysis.
  • Includes practical examples for clear conversion understanding.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without software installation.

Examples

  • 5 Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F equals approximately 4.9967 Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • 10 Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F equals approximately 9.9933 Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
