Joules per kilogram-kelvin to BTU per pound-°F
Type a value in J/(kg·K) to get it in BTU/(lb·°F) instantly.
0.2388BTU/(lb·°F)
That's 1.11× as much heat as aluminum, while air is 1.01× higher. Warming one kilogram by 10 °C takes about 10,000 J.
Convert the other way: BTU/(lb·°F) to J/(kg·K)
What it means
How much heat does it hold?
Values are at room temperature and constant pressure. Gases differ between constant pressure and constant volume.
The math
How to convert J/(kg·K) to BTU/(lb·°F)
To convert joules per kilogram-kelvin to BTU per pound-°F, multiply by 0.000238846.
Example: 1,000 J/(kg·K) × 0.000238846 = 0.238846 BTU/(lb·°F).
In the other direction, 1 BTU/(lb·°F) = 4,186.8 J/(kg·K).
