Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

Things to check

  • Heat flux is power per unit area. A unit conversion alone does not determine temperature or the thermal performance of a construction.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
