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.
Convert the other way: W/(m²·K) to BTU/(h·ft²·°F)
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).
