Thermal conductivity is a material property that describes ability to conduct heat. Thermal conductivity can be defined as

"the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness of a material - in a direction normal to a surface of unit area - due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions".

Thermal conductivity most common units are W/(m K) in the SI system and Btu/(h ft °F) in the Imperial system.

Tabulated values and thermal conductivity units conversion are given below the figures.

Online Air Thermal Conductivity Calculator

The calculator below can be used to calculate the air thermal conductivity at given temperatures and pressure.
The output conductivity is given as mW/(m K), Btu(IT)/(h ft °F) and kcal(IT)/(h m K).

Temperature

Choose the actual unit of temperature: °C  °F  °R 
Choose the actual pressure:  1 bara / 14.5 psia; 20 bara / 290 psia; 50 bara / 725 psia; 100 bara / 1450 psia;
