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

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

4.403BTU/(h·ft²·°F)

That's about the same as moving air. With 10 °C across it, that moves about 250 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 W/(m²·K) to BTU/(h·ft²·°F)

To convert watts per square meter-kelvin to BTU per hour-ft²-°F, multiply by 0.17611.

Example: 25 W/(m²·K) × 0.17611 = 4.40275 BTU/(h·ft²·°F).

In the other direction, 1 BTU/(h·ft²·°F) = 5.67826 W/(m²·K).
