What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you translate thermal resistance values measured in degree Fahrenheit hour per Btu (th) into kelvin per watt (K/W). Both units describe how much an object resists heat transfer, with the former mostly used in HVAC and building contexts, and the latter in electronic and scientific thermal measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the thermal resistance value in degree Fahrenheit hour/Btu (th)
- Select the target unit as kelvin per watt (K/W)
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in K/W
- Review the result and use it for thermal design or comparison purposes
Key Features
- Converts thermal resistance between imperial and SI units quickly
- Useful for HVAC, building insulation, and electronic thermal design
- Supports translation of thermal resistance values including area-normalized R-values
- Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output fields
Examples
- Convert 2 °F·h/Btu to K/W: 2 × 1.8969 ≈ 3.79 K/W
- Convert 0.5 °F·h/Btu to K/W: 0.5 × 1.8969 ≈ 0.95 K/W
Common Use Cases
- Calculating temperature drops across walls or assemblies in HVAC systems
- Converting thermal resistance values between imperial and SI units for engineering reports
- Specifying junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in electronic component design
- Characterizing heat sink and thermal interface material performance
- Estimating temperature rise in components based on power dissipation
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure steady-state conditions when applying the conversion
- Use consistent units for heat flow (Btu/h or watts) as appropriate
- Verify the conversion factor aligns with your engineering standard requirements
- Combine area normalization carefully when working with building insulation R-values
Limitations
- Conversion assumes steady-state heat flow and linear temperature difference
- Does not account for transient or non-linear heat transfer conditions
- Numerical precision may affect results where very high accuracy is required
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does degree Fahrenheit hour/Btu (th) measure?
- It is a unit of thermal resistance representing a temperature difference of one degree Fahrenheit per one Btu per hour heat flow, mostly used in HVAC and building insulation.
- Why convert thermal resistance to kelvin/watt (K/W)?
- K/W is the SI unit common in electronic thermal management and allows comparison and integration of thermal resistance values across different engineering fields.
- Is this conversion valid under all heat transfer conditions?
- No, it assumes steady-state heat flow and linear temperature difference; transient or non-linear conditions require more complex analysis.
Key Terminology
- Degree Fahrenheit hour/Btu (th)
- A thermal resistance unit equal to a temperature difference of one degree Fahrenheit divided by heat flow of one Btu per hour, used in HVAC and building calculations.
- Kelvin per watt (K/W)
- An SI unit of thermal resistance that measures temperature difference in kelvin per watt of steady heat flow, standard in electronics thermal modeling.
- Thermal Resistance
- A property describing how much a material or assembly resists heat transfer between two points.
