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

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