Convert Milliwatt per square metre to International table BTU per hour per square foot
Convert Milliwatt per square metre (mW/m²) to International table BTU per hour per square foot (BTU(IT)/(h·ft²)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
BTU(IT)/(h·ft²) = mW/m² × 0.0003169983306
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).
About International table BTU per hour per square foot
The international table BTU per hour per square foot (BTU(IT)/(h·ft²)) equals 1055.05585262/(3600×0.09290304) ≈ 3.15459 W/m². The standard US heat flux unit in ASHRAE, ASTM, and building codes for thermal resistance (R-value), boiler ratings, and heat exchanger design. 1 BTU(IT)/(h·ft²) ≈ 3.15459 W/m².
