watt per meter kelvin to kilowatt per meter kelvin
Please provide values below to convert watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] to kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)], or change ↔.
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!
kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
Definition: A larger unit of thermal conductivity, measuring the amount of heat (in kilowatts) that passes through one meter of material for each degree Kelvin of temperature difference.
Historyandorigin: This unit is an extension of the watt per meter kelvin, used when dealing with larger quantities of heat, typically in industrial settings.
CurrentUse: Used in large-scale engineering and power plant systems, such as in the heat dissipation of cooling systems or large metal structures.
funfact: This unit is often used when evaluating systems with high energy output, such as turbines and heat exchangers!

How to Convert watt per meter kelvin to kilowatt per meter kelvin
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 0.001 kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
1 kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)] = 1000 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
we use cross multiplication method
watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] → kilowatt per meter kelvin [kW/(m·K)]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
