Convert Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius to Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius

Convert Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius (kcal/(cm·h·°C)) to Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius (mW/(m·°C)) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

mW/(m·°C) = kcal/(cm·h·°C) × 116300

About Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius

The kcal/(cm·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/36 W/(m·K) = 116.3 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm = 0.01 m). Used in older CGS-metric European and Soviet literature for metallic heat transfer. Steel: ≈0.137; copper: ≈3.31 kcal/(cm·h·°C). 1 kcal/(cm·h·°C) = 116.3 W/(m·K) = 100 × kcal/(m·h·°C).

About Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius

The milliwatt per metre degree Celsius (mW/(m·°C)) equals exactly 1 mW/(m·K) = 10⁻³ W/(m·K) since temperature intervals 1 °C = 1 K. Used interchangeably with mW/(m·K) in building physics, insulation standards (EN ISO 10456), and material datasheets where Celsius is the preferred temperature scale. Still air ≈26 mW/(m·°C); mineral wool ≈35 mW/(m·°C). 1 mW/(m·°C) = 1 mW/(m·K) = 10⁻³ W/(m·K).
