Thermal Conductivity Converter
Comprehensive Thermal Conductivity Converter
Thermal conductivity is a critical property in materials science and engineering, describing a material’s ability to conduct heat. Our Thermal Conductivity Converter allows you to quickly and accurately convert between various units of thermal conductivity—from the SI unit (watt/meter/kelvin) to units used in different engineering and energy contexts.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a complete list of thermal conductivity units with conversion factors defined relative to watt/meter/kelvin [W/(m*K)]:
Watt/meter/kelvin [W/(m*K)]:
The SI base unit.Watt/centimeter/°C:
1 W/(cm·°C) = 100 W/(m*K).Kilowatt/meter/kelvin [kW/(m*K)]:
1 kW/(mK) = 1000 W/(mK).Calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C:
≈ 418.6800000009 W/(m*K).Calorie (th)/second/cm/°C:
≈ 418.3999999994 W/(m*K).Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/meter/°C:
≈ 1.163 W/(m*K).Kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C:
≈ 1.1622222222 W/(m*K).Btu (IT) inch/second/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 519.2203999105 W/(m*K).Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 518.8731616576 W/(m*K).Btu (IT) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 1.7307346664 W/(m*K).Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 1.7295772055 W/(m*K).Btu (IT) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 0.1442278889 W/(m*K).Btu (th) inch/hour/sq. foot/°F:
≈ 0.1441314338 W/(m*K).
How Does It Work?
Our converter operates in two simple steps:
Convert to the Base Unit:
The tool first converts the input value to watts per meter/kelvin using the conversion factor for the selected “From” unit.Convert to the Target Unit:
It then converts the value in W/(m*K) into your desired “To” unit using its conversion factor.
This two-step process ensures accurate and consistent thermal conductivity conversions.
