Convert Celsius Heat Unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius to International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
Convert Celsius Heat Unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius (CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) to International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) = CHU/(h·ft²·°C) × 0.4882427636
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).
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).
