Watt per meter kelvin to Kilowatt per meter kelvin Converter

W/(m·K)
kW/(m·K)
1. 1 W/(m·K) × 1 = 1 W/(m·K)
2. 1 W/(m·K) ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kW/(m·K)

Unit Information

Watt per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K))

The SI unit of thermal conductivity, representing the ability of a material to conduct heat, measured in watts per meter per kelvin.

1 W/(m·K) = 0.001 kW/(m·K)1 W/(m·K) = 0.5778 BTU/(h·ft·°F)1 W/(m·K) = 6.9348 BTU·in/(h·ft²·°F)

Kilowatt per meter-kelvin (kW/(m·K))

A unit of thermal conductivity, representing the ability of a material to conduct heat, measured in kilowatts per meter per kelvin.

1 kW/(m·K) = 1000 W/(m·K)1 kW/(m·K) = 577.8 BTU/(h·ft·°F)1 kW/(m·K) = 6934.8 BTU·in/(h·ft²·°F)
