Heat Transfer Coefficient Converter

Comprehensive Heat Transfer Coefficient Converter

The heat transfer coefficient quantifies a material’s ability to transfer heat between its surface and the surrounding environment. This parameter is vital for designing efficient thermal management systems, building insulation, and electronic cooling solutions. Our Heat Transfer Coefficient Converter allows you to effortlessly convert between various units—whether you are working in SI units (W/m·K) or using alternative units such as those based on calorie or Btu.

Welche Einheiten sind abgedeckt?

Our converter supports a comprehensive range of heat transfer coefficient units, with conversion factors defined relative to watt per meter per kelvin [W/(m*K)]:

• Watt/meter/K [W/(m*K)]:
  Die SI-Basiseinheit.

• Watt/meter/°C:
  Equivalent to W/(m*K) for temperature differences.

• Joule/second/meter/K:
  Identical to 1 W/(m*K).

• Kalorie (IT)/Sekunde/cm/°C:
  ≈ 41868.00000482 W/(m*K).

• Kilokalorie (IT)/Stunde/Meter/°C:
  ≈ 1,163 W/(m*K).

• Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C:
  ≈ 12.5184278205 W/(m*K).

• Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F:
  ≈ 20441.748028012 W/(m*K).

• Btu (th)/second/square foot/°F:
  ≈ 20428.077230618 W/(m*K).

• Btu (IT)/hour/square foot/°F:
  ≈ 5.6782633411 W/(m*K).

• Btu (th)/hour/square foot/°F:
  ≈ 5.6744658974 W/(m*K).

• CHU/hour/square foot/°C:

Wie funktioniert es?

Unser Konverter arbeitet in zwei einfachen Schritten:

1. In die Basiseinheit umrechnen:
   The input value is first converted to watts per meter per kelvin using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.

2. In die Zieleinheit umrechnen:
   The base value is then converted into your chosen “To” unit using its conversion factor.

This method ensures accurate, consistent results for all your heat transfer coefficient calculations.
