What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform thermal conductivity values measured in calorie (thermochemical) per second per centimeter per degree Celsius into British-Imperial or US customary units represented by Btu (IT) per inch per second per square foot per degree Fahrenheit. It simplifies unit translation for heat transfer and material performance evaluations.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the thermal conductivity value in calorie (th)/second/cm/°C.
  • Select the input and output units as calorie (th)/second/cm/°C and Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F respectively.
  • Click convert to obtain the result in Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • Use the converted value for engineering calculations or data comparisons as needed.

Key Features

  • Converts thermal conductivity between two common but distinct unit systems.
  • Supports legacy data translation from cgs and thermochemical calorie units to British-Imperial/US customary units.
  • Browser-based tool with clear input and output format for ease of use.
  • Suitable for use in engineering, HVAC, construction, and materials science contexts.

Examples

  • 5 calorie (th)/second/cm/°C converts to approximately 4.0291 Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.
  • 0.2 calorie (th)/second/cm/°C converts to about 0.1612 Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting thermal conductivity values for building insulation materials used in US customary unit regions.
  • Translating historical or legacy heat transfer data from cgs-based calorie units to British-Imperial units.
  • Performing thermal design and analysis in HVAC engineering projects requiring unit consistency.
  • Facilitating comparison of international research data with US building and construction standards.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the original data uses thermochemical calorie definitions for accurate conversion.
  • Confirm that temperature differences are properly expressed in °C for input and °F for output units.
  • Use the tool primarily for steady-state heat conduction scenarios with uniform thickness and area.
  • Verify conversion results when precision is critical by cross-referencing with SI unit calculations.

Limitations

  • Unit definition differences between calorie (th) and Btu (IT) may introduce minor inaccuracies.
  • Assumes steady heat flow conditions with exact temperature differentials in °C or °F.
  • Rounding in the conversion factor can affect results; SI units may be preferred for high-precision needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use calorie (th)/second/cm/°C units?
They are used in legacy engineering and calorimetric experiments based on the thermochemical calorie, offering historical consistency in older materials data.

What industries commonly use Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F?
This unit is prevalent in building insulation, HVAC design, and construction where US customary or British-Imperial units are standard.

Can this conversion be used for non-steady state conditions?
No, the conversion assumes steady-state heat conduction with uniform cross-section, thickness, and well-defined temperature differences.
