Example: convert 10 kJ/(kg·K) to BTU (IT)/(lb·°F)

10 × 0.2388458966 = 2.3884589663 BTU (IT)/(lb·°F)

About these units

Short background on the units used in this conversion.

Kilojoule per Kilogram Kelvin (kJ/(kg·K))

A kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)) equals 1,000 J/(kg·K) — convenient for metals and high-capacity thermal storage media.

Kilojoules per kilogram kelvin rate phase-change materials, molten salts, and concentrated thermal buffers.

BTU (IT) per Pound Fahrenheit (BTU (IT)/(lb·°F))

A BTU (IT) per pound Fahrenheit equals 4,186.8 J/(kg·K) — the imperial specific heat unit common in US HVAC and materials handbooks.

BTU (IT) per pound Fahrenheit describe building materials, refrigerants, and process fluids in US engineering references.

Frequently asked questions

How many BTU (IT) per pound Fahrenheit are in one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin?
One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 0.2388458966 BTU (IT) per pound Fahrenheit. Multiply your kilojoules per kilogram kelvin value by 0.2388458966 to convert to BTU (IT) per pound Fahrenheit.
What is the conversion formula?
BTU (IT)/(lb·°F) = kJ/(kg·K) × 0.2388458966
