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

To convert from Milliwatt/Meter-Kelvin (mW/(m·K)) to Kilocalorie/Hour-Meter-°C (kcal/(h·m·°C)), multiply the value by 0.0008598452.

Formula: kcal/(h·m·°C) = mW/(m·K) × 0.0008598452

Reverse: mW/(m·K) = kcal/(h·m·°C) × 1,163

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Milliwatt/Meter-Kelvin. For example: 5 mW/(m·K)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 0.0008598452
The result is: 0.004299 kcal/(h·m·°C)

About Milliwatt/Meter-Kelvin

The milliwatt/meter-kelvin (mW/(m·K)) is a unit of thermal conductivity. One milliwatt/meter-kelvin equals 0.001 base units. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other thermal conductivity unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: thermal conductivity calculations, engineering and science, education.
