About Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre
The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(th)/(h·m²)) equals 4184/3600 ≈ 1.1622 W/m² (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J; 1 h = 3600 s). Used in older continental European and Soviet-era building physics standards for wall and roof heat loss calculations. 1 kcal(th)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1622 W/m².
About Milliwatt per square centimetre
The milliwatt per square centimetre (mW/cm²) equals exactly 10 W/m² (1 mW = 10⁻³ W; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Widely used in photonics, laser safety standards (IEC 60825), and UV dosimetry. Solar irradiance at Earth's surface ≈ 100 mW/cm². 1 mW/cm² = 10 W/m² = 0.001 W/cm².
