Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit to watt per meter kelvin
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)] to watt per meter kelvin [W/(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!
watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
Definition: The SI unit for thermal conductivity, measuring the ability of a material to conduct heat, defined as the amount of heat (in watts) that flows through a meter length of a material for every degree of temperature difference per unit of surface area.
Historyandorigin: The watt per meter kelvin is part of the International System of Units (SI), introduced in the 19th century as a way to standardize heat conductivity measurement.
CurrentUse: Used globally in material science, engineering, and building physics to assess thermal insulation properties of materials.
funfact: Materials like metals tend to have high thermal conductivity, while insulators like rubber have very low values!

How to Convert Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit to watt per meter kelvin
1 Btu (IT) per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(ft·h·°F)] = 5775 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 0.0001731602 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)] → watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 → 5775
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*5775=1*x
by simplifying
x=8662.5
