| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| K/kW | Kelvin per kilowatt |
| °C/W | Degree Celsius per watt |
Kelvin per kilowatt to Degree Celsius per watt examples
1 K/kW
1 K/kW × 0.001 = 0.001 °C/W.
10 K/kW
10 K/kW × 0.001 = 0.01 °C/W.
100 K/kW
100 K/kW × 0.001 = 0.1 °C/W.
Kelvin per kilowatt compared with Degree Celsius per watt
One °C/W is 1,000 times as large as one K/kW, so your number gets smaller when you convert kelvin per kilowatt to Degree Celsius per watt and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About kelvin per kilowatt and Degree Celsius per watt
Kelvin per kilowatt (K/kW): Kelvin per kilowatt, 0.001 K/W. Degree Celsius per watt (°C/W): Celsius degrees per watt, numerically equal to K/W.
How to calculate Kelvin per kilowatt to Degree Celsius per watt step by step
- Enter the value in K/kW (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.001, because 1 K/kW = 0.001 °C/W.
- The product is the value in °C/W. To go back, divide by 0.001 or multiply by 1,000.
