What does calorie (th)/second/cm/°C measure?

It measures thermal conductivity using the thermochemical calorie unit, representing heat transfer through a material with a 1 cm thickness and cross-sectional area for a temperature difference of 1 °C.

Why convert to calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C?

Converting to calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C aligns data with the International Table calorie standard, facilitating compatibility with modern engineering calculations and comparisons with legacy data.

Is the conversion exact?

No, the conversion is close but includes a slight difference due to distinct calorie definitions, so minor discrepancies may appear in high-precision scenarios.

Can this tool convert other thermal conductivity units?

This tool specifically converts between calorie (th)/second/cm/°C and calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C only.

What units must remain consistent for proper conversion?

Thickness and cross-sectional area units must remain consistent for accurate conversion results.
