Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin to Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius
Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin (µW/(m·K)) to Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius (mW/(m·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mW/(m·°C) = µW/(m·K) × 0.001
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 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).
