Hello,

For the purpose of publishing Bruce Kings book "Design of SB Buildings" 
in french I would appreciate someone from this list confirming Rob Tom's 
conversion below (for page 187):
> A thermal resistivity of 1.45 ft^2*hr*degF/Btu*inch (Murrican)
> converts to 10.05 m^2*degC/W*m (SIU).
>
> The thermal conductivity, or lambda value = 1 / thermal resistivity
>                                           = 1 / 10.05  m^2*degC/W*m
>                                           = 0.0994 W/mK  lambda (λ)

Thanks,
