Thermal Conductivity Converter
Convert thermal conductivity between W/(m·K), BTU/(h·ft·°F) and more.
Thermal conductivity tells you how readily a material conducts heat — high for metals, low for insulation — and it drives every heat-transfer and insulation calculation. Material datasheets quote it in W/(m·K) in SI or BTU/(h·ft·°F) in US practice, with older sources using calorie-based units.
This converter moves any thermal conductivity between W/(m·K), cal/(s·cm·°C), BTU/(h·ft·°F) and kcal/(h·m·°C), so insulation R-values, material specs and heat-loss math stay in one consistent unit.
