Convert kilocalorie (it)/hour/sq. foot/°c to watt/square meter/k
Kilocalorie (IT)/Hour/Sq. Foot/°C
The kilocalorie (IT) per hour per square foot per degree Celsius (kcal/(h·ft²·°C)) is a hybrid metric-imperial unit of heat transfer coefficient. It equals approximately 12.518 W/(m²·K) and is encountered in older technical literature mixing metric energy and caloric units with imperial area dimensions.
Watt/Square Meter/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.
