How it works
Convert thermal conductivity by multiplying the input by its source-unit factor and dividing by its destination-unit factor. Base unit: W/(m·K).
Input definitions
- Amount
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- From unit
- Choose W/(m·K) / mW/(m·K) / W/(cm·K) / kcal/(m·h·K).
- To unit
- Choose W/(m·K) / mW/(m·K) / W/(cm·K) / kcal/(m·h·K).
A worked example
- Amount
- 1
- From unit
- W/(m·K)
- To unit
- mW/(m·K)
Assumptions & limits
Uses the thermochemical kilocalorie. Thermal conductivity is a material property and differs from conductance and thermal transmittance. Results use up to 12 significant digits, with scientific notation for small values; values are processed locally.
