Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit to watt per meter kelvin
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)] to watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)], or change ↔.
Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)]
Definition: A unit of thermal conductivity, where heat flow is measured in Btu per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit.
Historyandorigin: The Btu is part of the imperial system, and this unit is specifically used for heat transfer calculations in larger systems, such as building HVAC.
CurrentUse: Used primarily in large-scale heating systems, especially for commercial and industrial buildings.
funfact: A high Btu per foot per second value usually indicates a material with low insulation properties!
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 second per foot per degree Fahrenheit to watt per meter kelvin
1 Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)] = 1719.9033357 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 0.000581428 Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)]
we use cross multiplication method
Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)] → watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 → 1719.9033357
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1719.9033357=1*x
by simplifying
x=2579.8550035
