Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin to Kilowatt per metre degree Celsius
Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin (µW/(m·K)) to Kilowatt per metre degree Celsius (kW/(m·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m·°C) = µW/(m·K) × 1.000000000e-9
About Microwatt per metre kelvin
The microwatt per metre kelvin (µW/(m·K)) equals exactly 10⁻⁶ W/(m·K). Used for near-vacuum conditions and evacuated superinsulation systems where the effective thermal conductivity falls well below the mW/(m·K) range. Evacuated multi-layer insulation (MLI) at high vacuum can reach 0.001-10 µW/(m·K) effective conductivity. Completes the SI prefix chain below mW/(m·K). 1 µW/(m·K) = 10⁻⁶ W/(m·K) = 10⁻³ mW/(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).
