    Calorie/Second-Centimeter-°C to Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvin Converter

    Quick answer

    To convert Calorie/Second-Centimeter-°Cs to Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvins, multiply by 0.4184 (or divide by 2.3900573614). Therefore, 1 Calorie/Second-Centimeter-°C (cal/(s·cm·°C)) equals 0.4184 Kilowatt/Meter-Kelvins (kW/(m·K)).

    Formula: kW/(m·K) = cal/(s·cm·°C) × 0.4184. Worked example: 10 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 4.184 kW/(m·K).
