1 W/(m·K) = 0.8598452279 kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C)
1 kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C) = 1.163 W/(m·K)
To convert watt per meter kelvin to kilocalorie (it) per hour meter celsius, multiply by 0.8598452279.
To convert kilocalorie (it) per hour meter celsius to watt per meter kelvin, multiply by 1.163.
Example: convert 10 W/(m·K) to kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C)
10 × 0.8598452279 = 8.5984522786 kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C)
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K)) is the SI unit of thermal conductivity — heat flow per unit area per unit temperature gradient.
Watts per meter kelvin specify insulation, metals, ceramics, and fluids in building science and heat-exchanger design.
A kilocalorie (IT) per hour meter Celsius equals 1.163 W/(m·K) — a calorie-based conductivity rate used in some European references.
Kilocalories (IT) per hour meter Celsius rate building insulation and food-processing equipment in metric thermal tables.
kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C) = W/(m·K) × 0.8598452279W/(m·K) = kcal (IT)/(h·m·°C) × 1.163, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any thermal conductivity conversion starting from watt per meter kelvin — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
