1 kcal (IT)/(h·m²) = 1.163 W/m²
1 W/m² = 0.8598452279 kcal (IT)/(h·m²)
To convert kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter to watt per square meter, multiply by 1.163.
To convert watt per square meter to kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter, multiply by 0.8598452279.
Example: convert 10 kcal (IT)/(h·m²) to W/m²
10 × 1.163 = 11.63 W/m²
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
A kilocalorie (IT) per hour square meter equals 1.163 W/m² — a calorie-based heat flux rate.
Kilocalories (IT) per hour square meter appear in metric HVAC and process heat transfer references.
The watt per square meter (W/m²) is the SI unit of heat flux density — instantaneous thermal power per unit area.
Watts per square meter describe convection, radiation, and conduction heat flow rates at surfaces in HVAC and electronics cooling.
W/m² = kcal (IT)/(h·m²) × 1.163kcal (IT)/(h·m²) = W/m² × 0.8598452279, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any heat flux density conversion starting from kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
