Conversion Formula
cal(IT)/(s·cm²·°C) = BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F) × 0.0001356229899
About International table BTU per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit
The international table BTU per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit (BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F)) equals 1055.05585262/(3600×0.09290304×5/9) ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K). The dominant heat transfer coefficient unit in US engineering: ASHRAE handbooks, ASTM standards, boiler and heat exchanger design, and building envelope U-values are all commonly tabulated in this unit. 1 BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F) ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K).
About International table calorie per second per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per second per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(s·cm²·°C)) equals exactly 41868 W/(m²·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²; 1 °C = 1 K). Slightly larger than the thermochemical variant; used in IT-based thermophysical property tables for extreme thermal environments such as nuclear and fusion reactor surfaces. 1 cal(IT)/(s·cm²·°C) = 41868 W/(m²·K).
