Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin to Watt per centimetre kelvin
Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) to Watt per centimetre kelvin (W/(cm·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(cm·K) = mW/(cm·K) × 0.001
About Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin
The milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) equals exactly 0.1 W/(m·K). Used in semiconductor and thermoelectric materials research: bismuth telluride ≈15 mW/(cm·K), yttria-stabilised zirconia ≈2 mW/(cm·K). Bridges the scale gap between mW/(m·K) for insulators and W/(m·K) for bulk solids. 1 mW/(cm·K) = 0.1 W/(m·K) = 100 mW/(m·K).
About Watt per centimetre kelvin
The watt per centimetre kelvin (W/(cm·K)) equals exactly 100 W/(m·K). Used for highly conductive materials in electronics and cryogenics: silver ≈4.29, copper ≈3.85, aluminium ≈2.05 W/(cm·K); synthetic diamond ≈22 W/(cm·K). Common in semiconductor and power device literature where component dimensions are centimetre-scale. 1 W/(cm·K) = 100 W/(m·K).
