watt per meter kelvin to watt per inch kelvin
Please provide values below to convert watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] to watt per inch kelvin [W/(in·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!
watt per inch kelvin [W/(in·K)]
Definition: A unit of thermal conductivity measuring the amount of heat in watts that flows through an inch of material for every degree Kelvin of temperature difference.
Historyandorigin: This unit is typically used in industries that work with inches as the standard measurement unit, particularly in North America.
CurrentUse: Used in the insulation industry to measure the thermal conductivity of materials like foam, fiberglass, and metals.
funfact: This unit is often used in building materials, such as wall insulation, to determine their energy efficiency!

How to Convert watt per meter kelvin to watt per inch kelvin
1 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] = 25.4 watt per inch kelvin [W/(in·K)]
1 watt per inch kelvin [W/(in·K)] = 0.0393700787 watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)]
we use cross multiplication method
watt per meter kelvin [W/(m·K)] → watt per inch kelvin [W/(in·K)]
1 → 25.4
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*25.4=1*x
by simplifying
x=38.1
