How to Convert Kilocalorie/Hour-Meter-°C to Watt/Meter-Kelvin

To convert from Kilocalorie/Hour-Meter-°C (kcal/(h·m·°C)) to Watt/Meter-Kelvin (W/(m·K)), multiply the value by 1.163.

Formula: W/(m·K) = kcal/(h·m·°C) × 1.163

Reverse: kcal/(h·m·°C) = W/(m·K) × 0.8598452279

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilocalorie/Hour-Meter-°C. For example: 5 kcal/(h·m·°C)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 1.163
The result is: 5.815 W/(m·K)
