What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms thermal conductivity measurements from kilowatt per meter per kelvin (kW/(m*K)) into Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F. It assists users in interpreting heat transfer rates in different unit systems common in building construction and thermal engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the thermal conductivity value in kilowatt/meter/K.
- Select the target unit as Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F.
- Click convert to see the equivalent value in imperial units.
Key Features
- Converts thermal conductivity units between SI and Imperial systems.
- Supports design and analysis for building materials and insulation.
- Suitable for heat transfer calculations in HVAC and engineering contexts.
- Easy to use with clear input and output unit options.
Examples
- 2 kW/(m*K) converts to 1156.35 Btu/(h·ft·°F).
- 0.5 kW/(m*K) converts to 289.09 Btu/(h·ft·°F).
Common Use Cases
- Comparing thermal conductivities of insulation materials in building projects.
- Performing heat transfer calculations for walls, roofs, and HVAC components.
- Designing heat exchangers and electronic cooling systems using imperial units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Confirm the material’s steady-state heat conduction before applying the conversion.
- Use the tool for materials where temperature gradients are stable and linear.
- Verify that preferred unit systems (SI or Imperial) are consistent with project requirements.
Limitations
- Applies only to steady-state and linear heat conduction scenarios.
- Accounts for differing temperature scales between Kelvin and Fahrenheit.
- Does not handle material anisotropy or transient heat flow effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does kilowatt per meter per kelvin measure?
- It measures the rate of heat transfer through a material per unit thickness given a temperature gradient, representing thermal conductivity.
- Why convert to Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F?
- Because this unit is widely used in the US for specifying thermal conductivity in building materials and HVAC system designs using imperial units.
- Is this conversion valid for all heat conduction situations?
- No, it is valid only for steady-state, linear heat conduction and assumes uniform temperature gradients.
Key Terminology
- Kilowatt/meter/K [kW/(m*K)]
- A unit measuring steady-state heat transfer rate per unit thickness per kelvin temperature difference in a material.
- Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F
- An imperial unit quantifying heat transfer through a material of one foot thickness with a one square foot area and one degree Fahrenheit temperature difference.
- Fourier's law of heat conduction
- A principle describing heat transfer rate as proportional to the material's thermal conductivity and temperature gradient.
