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).

About Milliwatt per metre kelvin

The milliwatt per metre kelvin (mW/(m·K)) equals exactly 10⁻³ W/(m·K). Used for gases and ultra-low thermal conductivity solids: still air ≈26 mW/(m·K), CO₂ ≈16 mW/(m·K), aerogels 12-20 mW/(m·K), vacuum insulation panels ≈5 mW/(m·K). Standard insulation products are typically specified in mW/(m·K). 1 mW/(m·K) = 10⁻³ W/(m·K) = 0.1 mW/(cm·K).
