Conversion Formula
kcal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) = CHU/(h·ft²·°C) × 0.0004885695035
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 Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (kcal(th)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals ≈ 11622 W/(m²·K) (= 10⁴ × kcal(th)/(h·m²·°C)). A high-flux CGS metric unit found in older combustion engineering, industrial furnace design, and metallurgical heat treating references. 1 kcal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) ≈ 11622 W/(m²·K).
