Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit to kilowatt per meter kelvin
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)] to kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)], or change ↔.
Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)]
Definition: A unit of thermal conductivity measuring heat flow in Btu per foot per hour for each degree Fahrenheit of temperature difference.
Historyandorigin: Another common thermal unit in the imperial system, the Btu per foot per hour is used for evaluating the thermal performance of insulation materials.
CurrentUse: Common in construction, HVAC systems, and insulation evaluation in the United States.
funfact: It’s the preferred unit for measuring the insulating ability of materials like fiberglass and foam!
kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
Definition: A larger unit of thermal conductivity, measuring the amount of heat (in kilowatts) that passes through one meter of material for each degree Kelvin of temperature difference.
Historyandorigin: This unit is an extension of the watt per meter kelvin, used when dealing with larger quantities of heat, typically in industrial settings.
CurrentUse: Used in large-scale engineering and power plant systems, such as in the heat dissipation of cooling systems or large metal structures.
funfact: This unit is often used when evaluating systems with high energy output, such as turbines and heat exchangers!

How to Convert Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit to kilowatt per meter kelvin
1 Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)] = 5.775 kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
1 kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)] = 0.1731601732 Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)]
we use cross multiplication method
Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)] → kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
1 → 5.775
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*5.775=1*x
by simplifying
x=8.6625
