Convert Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius to Kilowatt per metre degree Celsius
Convert Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius (kcal/(m·h·°C)) to Kilowatt per metre degree Celsius (kW/(m·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m·°C) = kcal/(m·h·°C) × 0.001163
About Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius
The kcal/(m·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/3600 W/(m·K) = 1.163 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). Used in pre-SI continental European engineering literature, older DIN/BS standards, and Soviet-era technical documentation. Brick: ≈0.6; dense concrete: ≈1.3; carbon steel: ≈38 kcal/(m·h·°C). 1 kcal/(m·h·°C) = 1.163 W/(m·K).
About Kilowatt per metre degree Celsius
The kilowatt per metre degree Celsius (kW/(m·°C)) equals exactly 1 kW/(m·K) = 1000 W/(m·K) since temperature intervals 1 °C = 1 K. An alternative notation for kW/(m·K) used in European engineering and scientific literature. Type IIa diamond ≈2.2 kW/(m·°C); crystalline silicon ≈0.14 kW/(m·°C); ²⁸Si single crystal ≈1.0 kW/(m·°C). 1 kW/(m·°C) = 1 kW/(m·K) = 1000 W/(m·K).
