watt per centimeter kelvin to watt per meter kelvin
Please provide values below to convert watt per centimeter kelvin [W/(cm·K)] to watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)], or change ↔.
watt per centimeter kelvin [W/(cm·K)]
Definition: A unit of thermal conductivity, equal to one watt per centimeter of material for each degree Kelvin of temperature difference.
Historyandorigin: Used to measure the thermal conductivity of materials on a smaller scale, this unit is an extension of the standard watt per meter kelvin.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in laboratory settings and in the study of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals.
funfact: This unit is useful when dealing with very thin materials, where measurements at the centimeter scale are more practical!
watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
Definition: The SI unit for thermal conductivity, measuring the ability of a material to conduct heat, defined as the amount of heat (in watts) that flows through a meter length of a material for every degree of temperature difference per unit of surface area.
Historyandorigin: The watt per meter kelvin is part of the International System of Units (SI), introduced in the 19th century as a way to standardize heat conductivity measurement.
CurrentUse: Used globally in material science, engineering, and building physics to assess thermal insulation properties of materials.
funfact: Materials like metals tend to have high thermal conductivity, while insulators like rubber have very low values!

How to Convert watt per centimeter kelvin to watt per meter kelvin
1 watt per centimeter kelvin [W/(cm·K)] = 0.01 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 100 watt per centimeter kelvin [W/(cm·K)]
we use cross multiplication method
watt per centimeter kelvin [W/(cm·K)] → watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
1 → 0.01
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.01=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.015
