359.759kcal/(hr·m·K)

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kcal/(hr·m·K) = cal/(cm·s·°C) × 359.7592

Multiply any value in calories per centimetre-second-Celsius by 359.7592 to obtain the value in kilocalories per hour-metre-kelvin.

Worked example

Convert 1 cal/(cm·s·°C) to kcal/(hr·m·K).

  1. 01Start with 1 cal/(cm·s·°C).
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 359.7592 = 359.759 kcal/(hr·m·K).
Result1 cal/(cm·s·°C) = 359.759 kcal/(hr·m·K)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cal/(cm·s·°C) to kcal/(hr·m·K)?
1 cal/(cm·s·°C) equals 359.7592 kcal/(hr·m·K). To convert, multiply the value in calories per centimetre-second-Celsius by 359.7592.
How do I convert 1 cal/(cm·s·°C) to kcal/(hr·m·K)?
1 cal/(cm·s·°C) = 359.759 kcal/(hr·m·K). For any value, multiply by 359.7592.
How do I convert kcal/(hr·m·K) back to cal/(cm·s·°C)?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.002779637. So 1 kcal/(hr·m·K) = 0.00277964 cal/(cm·s·°C).
When would I need to convert calorie per centimetre-second-Celsius to kilocalorie per hour-metre-kelvin?
Thermal conductivity conversions between cal/(cm·s·°C) and kcal/(hr·m·K) are common in insulation specification, heat-exchanger design, and building-envelope analysis. SI units (W/(m·K)) appear in international standards and simulation tools, while BTU/(hr·ft·°F) is standard in US codes and vendor datasheets.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
