Convert Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius to Kilowatt per metre kelvin
Convert Milliwatt per metre degree Celsius (mW/(m·°C)) to Kilowatt per metre kelvin (kW/(m·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m·K) = mW/(m·°C) × 1.000000000e-6
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).
About Kilowatt per metre kelvin
The kilowatt per metre kelvin (kW/(m·K)) equals exactly 1000 W/(m·K). Used for exceptionally conductive materials: type IIa diamond ≈2.2 kW/(m·K), isotopically pure ²⁸Si ≈1.0 kW/(m·K), single-crystal graphene > 5 kW/(m·K) at room temperature. Convenient for comparing advanced thermal management and heat spreader materials. 1 kW/(m·K) = 1000 W/(m·K).
