Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F to watt/meter/K
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F to watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)], or change ↔.
Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F
Definition: Measures thermal conductivity in terms of Btu (IT) for each foot of material, per hour, and per square foot.
Historyandorigin: Used in industrial and commercial heating and insulation studies.
CurrentUse: Used for designing insulation materials and systems in the construction industry.
funfact: This unit helps determine how well buildings retain or release heat—crucial for energy-efficient homes!
watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)]
Definition: A unit of thermal conductivity that measures how much heat passes through a meter of material when a 1K temperature difference is maintained.
Historyandorigin: The SI unit of thermal conductivity, derived from Joules per second per meter per Kelvin.
CurrentUse: Used in material science, engineering, and building construction to assess heat conduction.
funfact: A material with a high thermal conductivity will feel hot to the touch quickly, like metals!

How to Convert Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F to watt/meter/K
1 Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F = 1.7307346664 watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)]
1 watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)] = 0.5777893165 Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F
we use cross multiplication method
Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F → watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)]
1 → 1.7307346664
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.7307346664=1*x
by simplifying
x=2.5961019996
