How to Convert BTU (IT) per Second per Square Foot per Degree Fahrenheit to Calorie (IT) per Second per Square Centimeter per Degree Celsius

Conversion Formula

1 Btu/(s·ft²·°F) = 0.488 cal/(s·cm²·°C)
1 cal/(s·cm²·°C) = 2.048 Btu/(s·ft²·°F)

Example

Convert 15 Btu/(s·ft²·°F) to cal/(s·cm²·°C):

15 Btu/(s·ft²·°F) = 15 × 0.488 cal/(s·cm²·°C) = 7.324 cal/(s·cm²·°C)
