watt per meter kelvin to Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit
Please provide values below to convert watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] to Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)], or change ↔.
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!
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!

How to Convert watt per meter kelvin to Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 0.000581428 Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)]
1 Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)] = 1719.9033357 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
we use cross multiplication method
watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] → Btu (IT) per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit [Btu/(s·ft·°F)]
1 → 0.000581428
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.000581428=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.000872142
