1 kcal (IT)/(h·m²·°C) = 1.163 W/(m²·K)
1 W/(m²·K) = 0.8598452279 kcal (IT)/(h·m²·°C)
To convert kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter celsius to watt per square meter kelvin, multiply by 1.163.
To convert watt per square meter kelvin to kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter celsius, multiply by 0.8598452279.
Example: convert 10 kcal (IT)/(h·m²·°C) to W/(m²·K)
10 × 1.163 = 11.63 W/(m²·K)
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
A kilocalorie (IT) per hour square meter Celsius equals 1.163 W/(m²·K) — a calorie-based convection rate used in some European references.
Kilocalories (IT) per hour square meter Celsius rate surface heat transfer in metric building and process heat tables.
The watt per square meter kelvin (W/(m²·K)) is the SI unit of heat transfer coefficient — convective heat flux per unit area per unit temperature difference.
Watts per square meter kelvin rate convection at walls, heat exchangers, and finned surfaces in HVAC and process engineering.
W/(m²·K) = kcal (IT)/(h·m²·°C) × 1.163kcal (IT)/(h·m²·°C) = W/(m²·K) × 0.8598452279, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any heat transfer coefficient conversion starting from kilocalorie (it) per hour square meter celsius — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
