What does kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C measure?

It measures thermal conductivity as heat flow in kilocalories per hour through a material one meter thick with a temperature difference of one degree Celsius.

Where is Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F commonly used?

It is used mainly in building and HVAC engineering to specify thermal conductivity in Imperial units, especially within North American standards.

Why convert between these thermal conductivity units?

Conversion helps interpret and compare thermal data across metric and Imperial systems, standardizing specifications and enhancing thermal analysis.
