Thermal Resistance Converter FAQ

What is thermal resistance? ▾

Thermal resistance is how strongly an object resists heat flow, measured in kelvin per watt (K/W). It is the inverse of thermal conductance. Higher K/W means better insulation.

How is K/W different from R-value? ▾

K/W is the absolute resistance of a specific object. The construction R-value is per unit area (m²·K/W or ft²·°F·h/BTU). This tool converts absolute thermal resistance units.
