About Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius

The kcal/(m·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/3600 W/(m·K) = 1.163 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). Used in pre-SI continental European engineering literature, older DIN/BS standards, and Soviet-era technical documentation. Brick: ≈0.6; dense concrete: ≈1.3; carbon steel: ≈38 kcal/(m·h·°C). 1 kcal/(m·h·°C) = 1.163 W/(m·K).

About BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit

The BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/(s·ft·°F)) equals (1055.05585262 × 9)/(0.3048 × 5) W/(m·K) ≈6230.6 W/(m·K). Equal to 3600 × BTU/(h·ft·°F). Reserved for extremely high-power transient applications in US engineering literature; copper ≈0.0617; carbon steel ≈0.0072 BTU/(s·ft·°F). 1 BTU/(s·ft·°F) = 3600 BTU/(h·ft·°F) ≈6230.6 W/(m·K).
