Frequently Asked Questions

What does watt/centimeter/°C measure?
Watt per centimeter per degree Celsius measures thermal conductivity as the heat power conducted through a material per unit thickness for a unit temperature gradient.

Why convert to Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F?
Converting to Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F allows comparison and application of thermal conductivity data in building and construction contexts using Imperial units.

Is the conversion exact for all situations?
No, it applies under steady-state thermal conduction with linear temperature gradients and specific unit definitions.

Key Terminology

Watt/centimeter/°C
A unit of thermal conductivity measuring heat power conducted per centimeter thickness per degree Celsius temperature difference.
Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F
An Imperial unit of thermal conductivity representing heat flow through a one-foot thick material with one square-foot area per degree Fahrenheit temperature difference.
Steady-state conduction
A condition where heat flow and temperature gradients remain constant over time.
