Frequently Asked Questions
- Why convert W/(m*K) to kilocalorie (IT)/hour/meter/°C?
- Converting these units helps compare and use thermal conductivity data across different measurement standards, especially in HVAC and older engineering materials.
- Is the difference between kelvin and Celsius significant in this conversion?
- No, the difference between kelvin and degrees Celsius is negligible when calculating conduction thermal conductivity.
- Can this conversion be used for modern engineering designs?
- Yes, but it is mainly useful for legacy data or regional unit preferences in thermal conductivity.
Key Terminology
- Watt per meter per kelvin (W/(m·K))
- The SI derived unit of thermal conductivity indicating heat transfer rate per meter thickness with a temperature gradient of one kelvin.
- Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/meter/°C
- A unit of thermal conductivity representing heat flow of one kilocalorie per hour per meter for a 1 °C temperature difference across the material thickness.
