celsius interval per watt to fahrenheit interval per watt
Convert celsius interval per watt (Δ°C/W) to fahrenheit interval per watt (Δ°F/W). Use an editable thermal resistance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 Δ°C/W = 1.8 Δ°F/W
Conversion formula
One celsius interval per watt equals 1.8 fahrenheit interval per watt. Multiply your value in celsius interval per watt by this factor to get fahrenheit interval per watt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 celsius interval per watt:5 × 1.8 = 9 Δ°F/W

About these measurements
Thermal resistance relates temperature difference to heat flow rate.
The base reference used here is the kelvin per watt. One celsius interval per watt is 1 base units; one fahrenheit interval per watt is 0.5555555556 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 Δ°C/W to Δ°F/W?
Multiply the quantity in Δ°C/W by 1.8. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the fahrenheit interval per watt to celsius interval per watt converter.
