Conversion Formula
CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) × 2.048161436
About International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals 4.1868/0.36 = 11.63 W/(m²·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J). The IT variant of the CGS heat transfer unit, encountered in steam engineering references and international process industry tables alongside kcal(IT)-based figures. 1 cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) = 11.63 W/(m²·K).
About Celsius Heat Unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius
The Celsius heat unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius (CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) equals ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K) - numerically identical to BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F). Used in UK and Canadian steam and process engineering; the temperature-interval ratio °F/°C = 5/9 is exactly compensated by the energy ratio CHU/BTU(IT) = 9/5, making both units numerically equal. 1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 1 BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F) ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K).
