thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin to watt per meter kelvin
Convert thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin (kcal/(h·m·K)) to watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K)). Use an editable thermal conductivity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kcal/(h·m·K) = 1.162222222 W/(m·K)
Conversion formula
One thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin equals 1.162222222 watt per meter kelvin. Multiply your value in thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin by this factor to get watt per meter kelvin. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin:5 × 1.162222222 = 5.811111111 W/(m·K)

About these measurements
Thermal conductivity relates heat flow to a temperature gradient.
The base reference used here is the watt per meter kelvin. One thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin is 1.162222222 base units; one watt per meter kelvin is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kcal/(h·m·K) to W/(m·K)?
Multiply the quantity in kcal/(h·m·K) by 1.162222222. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the watt per meter kelvin to thermochemical kilocalorie per hour meter kelvin converter.
