Conversion Formulas
W/m·K → W/cm·K: W/cm·K = W/m·K ÷ 100
W/m·K → BTU/hr·ft·°F: BTU/hr·ft·°F = W/m·K × 0.5779
W/cm·K → W/m·K: W/m·K = W/cm·K × 100
BTU/hr·ft·°F → W/m·K: W/m·K = BTU/hr·ft·°F ÷ 0.5779
FAQ
What is thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. It's the rate of heat transfer through a material per unit temperature gradient.
What materials have high thermal conductivity?
Metals like copper, aluminum, and silver have high thermal conductivity, while insulators like wood and plastic have low thermal conductivity.
What units are supported?
This converter supports watts per meter-kelvin (W/m·K), watts per centimeter-kelvin (W/cm·K), BTU/hour·foot·°F, and more.
