Thermal Conductivity Units and Their Conversion Values
Below is a table with short descriptions of thermal conductivity units and their conversion values relative to watt/meter/K (W/(m*K)):
| Unit Name | Symbol | Description | Conversion to W/(m*K) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watt/meter/Kelvin | W/(m*K) | Standard SI unit for thermal conductivity. | 1 W/(m*K) = 1 W/(m*K) |
| Watt/centimeter/°C | W/cm/°C | Common unit used in certain scientific fields. | 1 W/cm/°C = 100 W/(m*K) |
| Kilowatt/meter/Kelvin | kW/(m*K) | Used in industrial applications. | 1 kW/(m*K) = 1000 W/(m*K) |
| Calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C | cal(IT)/s/cm/°C | Used primarily in older scientific literature. | 1 cal(IT)/s/cm/°C = 418.68 W/(m*K) |
| Calorie (th)/second/cm/°C | cal(th)/s/cm/°C | Thermal calorie unit for specific scientific fields. | 1 cal(th)/s/cm/°C = 418.4 W/(m*K) |
| Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/meter/°C | kcal(IT)/h/m/°C | Used in older engineering contexts. | 1 kcal(IT)/h/m/°C = 1.163 W/(m*K) |
| Kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C | kcal(th)/h/m/°C | Similar to the IT unit, but slightly different. | 1 kcal(th)/h/m/°C = 1.162 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (IT) inch/second/sq.foot/°F | Btu(IT) in/s/ft²/°F | Used in the US for thermal energy. | 1 Btu(IT) in/s/ft²/°F = 5.678 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (th) inch/second/sq.foot/°F | Btu(th) in/s/ft²/°F | Thermal equivalent of Btu. | 1 Btu(th) in/s/ft²/°F = 5.678 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq.foot/°F | Btu(IT) ft/h/ft²/°F | Used in HVAC applications. | 1 Btu(IT) ft/h/ft²/°F = 0.048 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (th) foot/hour/sq.foot/°F | Btu(th) ft/h/ft²/°F | Thermal equivalent in HVAC. | 1 Btu(th) ft/h/ft²/°F = 0.048 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq.foot/°F | Btu(IT) in/h/ft²/°F | Used in specialized thermal calculations. | 1 Btu(IT) in/h/ft²/°F = 0.012 W/(m*K) |
| Btu (th) inch/hour/sq.foot/°F | Btu(th) in/h/ft²/°F | Thermal equivalent in specific contexts. | 1 Btu(th) in/h/ft²/°F = 0.012 W/(m*K) |
