Enter a watt per metre kelvin value to calculate watt per centimetre kelvin with full internal precision before display rounding.
Auto trims unnecessary zeroes and uses scientific notation for extreme magnitudes. Use Digits to set the display precision; calculations retain full precision.
| Unit | Symbol | Converted value |
|---|---|---|
| watt per metre kelvinfrom W/(m·K) | W/(m·K) | 1 |
| milliwatt per metre kelvinfrom W/(m·K) | mW/(m·K) | 1000 |
| watt per centimetre kelvinfrom W/(m·K) | W/(cm·K) | 0.01 |
| Btu per hour foot degree Fahrenheitfrom W/(m·K) | BtuIT/(h·ft·°F) | 0.577789 |
SI symbols follow international notation. U.S. and Imperial measures are labelled separately where their values differ.
Watt Per Metre Kelvin (W/(m·K)) and watt per centimetre kelvin (W/(cm·K)) are units of thermal conductivity. Use this page to convert in either direction.
| Watt Per Metre Kelvin (W/(m·K)) | Watt Per Centimetre Kelvin (W/(cm·K)) |
|---|---|
| 1 W/(m·K) | 0.01 W/(cm·K) |
| 5 W/(m·K) | 0.05 W/(cm·K) |
| 10 W/(m·K) | 0.1 W/(cm·K) |
| 100 W/(m·K) | 1 W/(cm·K) |
Examples are rounded to 6 significant digits. The interactive converter retains full calculation precision; change Display Precision to see more digits.
