About Watt per metre degree Celsius
The watt per metre degree Celsius (W/(m·°C)) equals exactly 1 W/(m·K) since temperature intervals 1 °C = 1 K. Widely used in building physics (EN ISO 6946), HVAC engineering, and European material datasheets as an equivalent notation. Stone: ≈2.5 W/(m·°C); softwood timber: ≈0.14 W/(m·°C); glass wool: ≈0.04 W/(m·°C). 1 W/(m·°C) = 1 W/(m·K).
About Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius
The kcal/(cm·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/36 W/(m·K) = 116.3 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm = 0.01 m). Used in older CGS-metric European and Soviet literature for metallic heat transfer. Steel: ≈0.137; copper: ≈3.31 kcal/(cm·h·°C). 1 kcal/(cm·h·°C) = 116.3 W/(m·K) = 100 × kcal/(m·h·°C).
