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.

覆盖哪些单位？

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)]:
  SI 基本单位。

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

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

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

• Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/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:
  ≈ 5.6782633411 W/(m*K).

它是如何工作的？

Our converter operates in two simple steps:

1. 转换为基本单位：
   The input value is first converted to watts per meter per kelvin using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.

2. 转换为目标单位：
   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.
