kilowatt per meter kelvin to it btu per hour foot fahrenheit
Convert kilowatt per meter kelvin (kW/(m·K)) to it btu per hour foot fahrenheit (BTU IT/(h·ft·°F)). Use an editable thermal conductivity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kW/(m·K) = 577.7893165 BTU IT/(h·ft·°F)
Conversion formula
One kilowatt per meter kelvin equals 577.7893165 it btu per hour foot fahrenheit. Multiply your value in kilowatt per meter kelvin by this factor to get it btu per hour foot fahrenheit. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilowatt per meter kelvin:5 × 577.7893165 = 2,888.946583 BTU IT/(h·ft·°F)

About these measurements
Thermal conductivity relates heat flow to a temperature gradient.
The base reference used here is the watt per meter kelvin. One kilowatt per meter kelvin is 1,000 base units; one it btu per hour foot fahrenheit is 1.730734666 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kW/(m·K) to BTU IT/(h·ft·°F)?
Multiply the quantity in kW/(m·K) by 577.7893165. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the it btu per hour foot fahrenheit to kilowatt per meter kelvin converter.
