Frequently Asked Questions

What does watt/meter/K measure?
It measures thermal conductivity as the heat transfer rate through a material per meter thickness and per kelvin temperature difference.

Why convert to Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F?
This unit is used in Imperial-system regions to specify thermal conductivity for building materials and engineering calculations.

Are there inaccuracies in the conversion?
Minor inaccuracies can occur due to slight differences in temperature scales and unit definitions.
