About International table BTU per hour per square inch

The international table BTU per hour per square inch (BTU(IT)/(h·in²)) equals 1055.05585262/(3600×6.4516×10⁻⁴) ≈ 454.26 W/m². Used for high heat flux applications such as electronic component cooling, jet engine combustor walls, and nuclear fuel assembly design in US customary units. 1 BTU(IT)/(h·in²) ≈ 454.26 W/m².

About Milliwatt per square metre

The milliwatt per square metre (mW/m²) equals 10⁻³ W/m². Relevant in geothermal surveys: global average continental heat flux ≈ 65 mW/m², oceanic ≈ 101 mW/m². Used in building physics for quantifying very small heat leakage through ultra-high-performance insulation. 1 mW/m² = 10⁻³ W/m² = 1 erg/(s·cm²).
