Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin to Milliwatt per metre kelvin
Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin (µW/(m·K)) to Milliwatt per metre kelvin (mW/(m·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mW/(m·K) = 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 kelvin
The milliwatt per metre kelvin (mW/(m·K)) equals exactly 10⁻³ W/(m·K). Used for gases and ultra-low thermal conductivity solids: still air ≈26 mW/(m·K), CO₂ ≈16 mW/(m·K), aerogels 12-20 mW/(m·K), vacuum insulation panels ≈5 mW/(m·K). Standard insulation products are typically specified in mW/(m·K). 1 mW/(m·K) = 10⁻³ W/(m·K) = 0.1 mW/(cm·K).
