Specific Heat Capacity conversion

[ProE_Addict]

I'm trying to add materials to my material database, but can't find a conversion from BTU/lb-deg F (on material spec sheet) to ProE units in^2/sec^2-deg F. Anyone know that this could be?

Best not to use the Pro/E default units.... EVER.


Use IPS, or better yet one of the metric systems.

Thanks for the suggestion, however this does not solve my problem. There is no alternate unit (such as BTU/lb-deg F) to choose. See below...

1 BTU = 778.13 ft lbf

1lbf =32.2 ft/sec^2 * lbm

So then 1BTU = 778.13 ft * 32.2 lbm ft/sec^2
= 25055.786 lbm ft^2/sec^2

So for your specific heat capacity:

1 Btu/(lbm

Magical, thank you...
