Convert Watt per centimetre kelvin to Watt per metre kelvin
Convert Watt per centimetre kelvin (W/(cm·K)) to Watt per metre kelvin (W/(m·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(m·K) = W/(cm·K) × 100
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).
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).
