Conversion Formula

h·°C/kcal = kK/W × 1163

About Kilokelvin per watt

The kilokelvin per watt (kK/W) equals exactly 1000 K/W. Used for high thermal resistances in aerogel films, vacuum insulation panels with small contact area, and micron-scale thin-film insulation layers in microelectronics packaging. Numerically identical to °C/mW; both notations denote the same thermal resistance in different engineering contexts. 1 kK/W = 1000 K/W = 1 °C/mW.

About Hour-degree Celsius per kilocalorie

The h·°C/kcal equals 3600/4186.8 K/W ≈ 0.8598 K/W. Used in pre-SI European engineering literature (French, German, Italian) for heat transfer system calculations. A boiler with 1 h·°C/kcal resistance passes 1 kcal/h per °C temperature difference. Superseded by K/W and h·°C/W in modern standards. 1 h·°C/kcal ≈ 0.8598 K/W.
