How to Convert Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvin to BTU/Hour-Foot-°F

To convert from Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvin (kW/(m·K)) to BTU/Hour-Foot-°F (BTU/(h·ft·°F)), multiply the value by 577.789316667.

Formula: BTU/(h·ft·°F) = kW/(m·K) × 577.789316667

Reverse: kW/(m·K) = BTU/(h·ft·°F) × 0.0017307347

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvin. For example: 5 kW/(m·K)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 577.789316667
The result is: 2,888.946583 BTU/(h·ft·°F)

About Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvin

The kilowatt/meter-kelvin (kW/(m·K)) is a unit of thermal conductivity. One kilowatt/meter-kelvin equals 1000 base units. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other thermal conductivity unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: thermal conductivity calculations, engineering and science, education.
