Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert calorie (th)/second/cm/°C to Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F?
To translate thermal conductivity data from older cgs-based measurements into units commonly used in building and HVAC industries, enabling compatibility with current standards.

Is this conversion suitable for transient heat transfer scenarios?
No. The conversion assumes stable steady-state heat flow and linear temperature gradients, so it may not be accurate in transient or nonlinear conditions.

What should I pay attention to when converting between these units?
You should consider the differences in temperature scales and unit dimensions, as well as carefully handle the large conversion factor to avoid significant errors.
