How it works
- Just enter a value and pick a unit to convert it to the main thermal conductivity units, using the SI unit W/(m·K) as the base.
- kcal/(m·h·°C) is about 1.16 W/(m·K) and BTU/(ft·h·°F) is about 1.73 W/(m·K), calculated with the values conventionally used in engineering.
- cal/(cm·s·°C) is a CGS-system unit and equals a very large value of about 418.68 W/(m·K) per unit.
- Handy when you want to compare thermal conductivity figures listed in building or insulation material catalogs using familiar units.
- Extremely large or small numbers are shown in exponential notation; all other values use readable digit grouping.
- The lower the thermal conductivity, the harder a material conducts heat, meaning higher insulating performance.
