convertimate Heat transfer

Kcal per hour-m²-°C to watts per square meter-kelvin

Type a value in kcal/(h·m²·°C) to get it in W/(m²·K) instantly.

29.08W/(m²·K)

That's 1.16× as effective as moving air, while flowing oil is 3.4× higher. With 10 °C across it, that moves about 290.8 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 kcal/(h·m²·°C) to W/(m²·K)

To convert kcal per hour-m²-°C to watts per square meter-kelvin, multiply by 1.163.

Example: 25 kcal/(h·m²·°C) × 1.163 = 29.075 W/(m²·K).

In the other direction, 1 W/(m²·K) = 0.859845 kcal/(h·m²·°C).
