Frequently Asked Questions

What does degree Fahrenheit second/Btu (IT) measure?
It is a thermal resistance unit expressing temperature difference in degrees Fahrenheit per heat flow rate in Btu per second, used mainly in the Imperial/British system.

Why convert degree Fahrenheit second/Btu (IT) to kelvin/watt (K/W)?
Converting to K/W enables consistent thermal analysis in the SI system, which is essential for integrating data across different unit systems and performing standardized simulations.

Can this conversion be used for transient thermal behaviors?
No, the conversion assumes steady-state conditions and linear behavior; transient or nonlinear thermal models require more complex approaches.
