SI symbols follow international notation. U.S. and Imperial measures are labelled separately where their values differ.
Watt Per Centimetre Kelvin (W/(cm·K)) and watt per metre kelvin (W/(m·K)) are units of thermal conductivity. Use this page to convert in either direction.
| Watt Per Centimetre Kelvin (W/(cm·K)) | Watt Per Metre Kelvin (W/(m·K)) |
|---|---|
| 1 W/(cm·K) | 100 W/(m·K) |
| 5 W/(cm·K) | 500 W/(m·K) |
| 10 W/(cm·K) | 1000 W/(m·K) |
| 100 W/(cm·K) | 10000 W/(m·K) |
Examples are rounded to 6 significant digits. The interactive converter retains full calculation precision; change Display Precision to see more digits.
