Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin to Watt per metre kelvin
Convert Microwatt per metre kelvin (µW/(m·K)) to Watt per metre kelvin (W/(m·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(m·K) = µW/(m·K) × 1.000000000e-6
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 Watt per metre kelvin
The watt per metre kelvin (W/(m·K)) is the SI unit for thermal conductivity defined by Fourier's law q = -λ∇T. Materials span orders of magnitude: aerogels ≈0.015, glass ≈1.0, stainless steel ≈16, aluminium ≈205, copper ≈385, diamond ≈2200 W/(m·K). Referenced in ISO 22007, EN 12667, and all major international standards. 1 W/(m·K) = 1 W/(m·°C).
