Conversion Formula
CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C) × 0.2048161436
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/(m²·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The IT variant used in steam turbine, power plant, and process industry engineering. Numerically slightly larger than the thermochemical counterpart. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C) ≈ 1.1633 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).
