How to Convert Btu inch/hour/sq. foot/°F to Btu/hour/foot/°F

Converting Btu inch/hour/sq. foot/°F (Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F)) to Btu/hour/foot/°F (Btu/(h·ft·°F)) is a core calculation in Thermal Conductivity, which measures a material's intrinsic capacity to conduct and transfer heat through microscopic collisions. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Btu inch/hour/sq. foot/°F equals 0.0833333 Btu/hour/foot/°F, while 1 Btu/(h·ft·°F) equals 12.000003 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F).

Direct Factor1 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) = 0.0833333 Btu/(h·ft·°F)

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) = 0.144228 watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 Btu/(h·ft·°F) = 1.730736 watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))

Step-by-step substitution for Btu inch/hour/sq. foot/°F → Btu/hour/foot/°F:V(Btu/(h·ft·°F)) = V(Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F)) × ( 0.144228 / 1.730736 ) = V(Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F)) × 0.0833333

Worked Example

Converting 15 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) yields an exact output of 1.25 Btu/(h·ft·°F) in Btu/hour/foot/°F. Under higher industrial throughput, 10000 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) translates to 833.333093 Btu/(h·ft·°F).

Inverse check: 1 Btu/(h·ft·°F) = 12.000003 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F).
