Convert watt/square metre/k to kilocalorie (it)/hour/sq. metre/°c
Watt/Square Metre/K
The watt per square metre per kelvin (W/(m²·K)) is the SI unit of heat transfer coefficient, also known as the U-value or film coefficient. It quantifies the rate of heat transfer per unit area per unit temperature difference. Typical values range from 2–25 W/(m²·K) for free convection to over 10,000 W/(m²·K) for boiling.
Kilocalorie (IT)/Hour/Sq. Metre/°C
The kilocalorie (IT) per hour per square metre per degree Celsius (kcal/(h·m²·°C)) equals approximately 1.163 W/(m²·K). It is widely used in older European and Asian engineering standards for heat exchangers, radiators, and building thermal analysis where metric-caloric units are preferred.
