BTU per hour-ft²-°F to watts per square meter-kelvin

Type a value in BTU/(h·ft²·°F) to get it in W/(m²·K) instantly.

142W/(m²·K)

That's 1.42× as effective as flowing oil, while flowing water is 3.5× higher. With 10 °C across it, that moves about 1,420 W per square meter.

What it means

How fast does heat leave?

Values depend strongly on flow speed, surface shape and whether the fluid changes phase.

The math

How to convert BTU/(h·ft²·°F) to W/(m²·K)

To convert BTU per hour-ft²-°F to watts per square meter-kelvin, multiply by 5.67826.

Example: 25 BTU/(h·ft²·°F) × 5.67826 = 141.957 W/(m²·K).

In the other direction, 1 W/(m²·K) = 0.17611 BTU/(h·ft²·°F).
