Conversion Formulas

K/W → °C/W: °C/W = K/W

K/W → °F/W: °F/W = K/W × 1.8

K/W → hr·°F/BTU: hr·°F/BTU = K/W × 0.5275

°C/W → K/W: K/W = °C/W

FAQ

What is thermal resistance?

Thermal resistance is a measure of a material's resistance to heat flow. It's the temperature difference across a material divided by the heat flux through it.

When is thermal resistance used?

Thermal resistance is used in thermal management, building insulation, electronics cooling, and HVAC systems to design efficient heat transfer solutions.

What units are supported?

This converter supports kelvins per watt (K/W), degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W), degrees Fahrenheit per watt (°F/W), and other units.
