*** Note: Use the following equation for direct unit conversion
Thermal Resistance : 1 h.ft2.F/BTU = 0.17611 m2.K/W
1 m2.K/W = 5.62787 h.ft2.F/BTU
1 m.K/W = 1.7307 h.ft.F/BTU
1 h.ft.F/BTU = 0.57778 m.K/W
Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient : 1 BTU/h.ft2.F = 5.67826 W/ m2.K
1 W/ m2.K = 0.17611 BTU/h.ft2.F

Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice-versa: 1 C/5 = (F-32)/9
Thermal Resistance : 1 h.ft2.F/BTU = 0.17611 m2.C/W
1 m2.C/W = 5.62787 h.ft2.F/BTU
***The reciprocal (inverse) of thermal resistance is overall heat transfer coefficient (U),
So for particular ‘U’ value, use the inverse of the thermal resistance
