Convert Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius to International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius
Convert Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius (kcal/(cm·h·°C)) to International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) = kcal/(cm·h·°C) × 0.2777777778
About Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius
The kcal/(cm·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/36 W/(m·K) = 116.3 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm = 0.01 m). Used in older CGS-metric European and Soviet literature for metallic heat transfer. Steel: ≈0.137; copper: ≈3.31 kcal/(cm·h·°C). 1 kcal/(cm·h·°C) = 116.3 W/(m·K) = 100 × kcal/(m·h·°C).
About International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius
The cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) equals exactly 4.1868/0.01 = 418.68 W/(m·K) (1 international table calorie = 4.1868 J). Used in pre-SI thermodynamics, steam tables, and international heat transfer references. Copper: ≈0.920 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C). Slightly larger than cal(th)/(cm·s·°C). 1 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) = 418.68 W/(m·K).
