FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kcal/(hr·m·K) to cal/(cm·s·°C)?
1 kcal/(hr·m·K) equals 0.002779637 cal/(cm·s·°C). To convert, multiply the value in kilocalories per hour-metre-kelvin by 0.002779637.
How do I convert 1 kcal/(hr·m·K) to cal/(cm·s·°C)?
1 kcal/(hr·m·K) = 0.00277964 cal/(cm·s·°C). For any value, multiply by 0.002779637.
How do I convert cal/(cm·s·°C) back to kcal/(hr·m·K)?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 359.7592. So 1 cal/(cm·s·°C) = 359.759 kcal/(hr·m·K).
When would I need to convert kilocalorie per hour-metre-kelvin to calorie per centimetre-second-Celsius?
Thermal conductivity conversions between kcal/(hr·m·K) and cal/(cm·s·°C) 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).
