How to Convert BTU (th) Inch per Hour per Square Foot per Degree Fahrenheit to Kilocalorie (th) per Hour per Meter per Degree Celsius

Conversion Formula

1 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) = 0.124 kcal/(h·m·°C)
1 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 8.064 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F)

Example

Convert 15 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) to kcal/(h·m·°C):

15 Btu·in/(h·ft²·°F) = 15 × 0.124 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 1.86 kcal/(h·m·°C)
