About Milliwatt per square metre kelvin
The milliwatt per square metre kelvin (mW/(m²·K)) equals 10⁻³ W/(m²·K). Used in thermal characterization of advanced superinsulation panels and cryogenic multilayer insulation (MLI) in space applications, where effective heat transfer coefficients as low as 0.5-5 mW/(m²·K) are achieved in high-vacuum multilayer systems. 1 mW/(m²·K) = 10⁻³ W/(m²·K).
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/(m²·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The IT variant used in steam turbine, power plant, and process industry engineering. Numerically slightly larger than the thermochemical counterpart. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C) ≈ 1.1633 W/(m²·K).
