Frequently Asked Questions

What does kilowatt per meter per kelvin measure?
It measures the rate of steady-state heat transfer through a material per unit thickness for a given temperature gradient.

Why convert thermal conductivity to Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F?
Because this unit is commonly used in North American building and HVAC engineering for specifying insulation and construction materials.

Is this conversion applicable for transient thermal analysis?
No, this conversion assumes steady-state conditions and may not apply to transient or changing heat conduction scenarios.

Key Terminology

Kilowatt/meter per kelvin (kW/(m·K))
A unit quantifying the steady-state heat transfer rate through a material per unit thickness for a one kelvin temperature difference.
Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F
A unit representing heat transferred per hour through a 1-inch thick material per square foot area with a one degree Fahrenheit temperature difference.
Thermal Conductivity
A property describing how well a material conducts heat under steady-state conditions.
