Watts per meter kelvin to Watts per centimeter kelvin formula and what each symbol means
W/(cm·K) = W/(m·K) × 0.01
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| W/(m·K) | Watt per meter kelvin |
| W/(cm·K) | Watt per centimeter kelvin |
Watts per meter kelvin to Watts per centimeter kelvin examples
1 W/(m·K)
1 W/(m·K) × 0.01 = 0.01 W/(cm·K).
10 W/(m·K)
10 W/(m·K) × 0.01 = 0.1 W/(cm·K).
100 W/(m·K)
100 W/(m·K) × 0.01 = 1 W/(cm·K).
Watts per meter kelvin compared with Watts per centimeter kelvin
One W/(cm·K) is 100 times as large as one W/(m·K), so your number gets smaller when you convert watts per meter kelvin to watts per centimeter kelvin and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About watts per meter kelvin and watts per centimeter kelvin
Watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K)): The SI unit of thermal conductivity. Watt per centimeter kelvin (W/(cm·K)): Watt per centimetre kelvin, exactly 100 W/(m·K).
How to calculate Watts per meter kelvin to Watts per centimeter kelvin step by step
- Enter the value in W/(m·K) (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.01, because 1 W/(m·K) = 0.01 W/(cm·K).
- The product is the value in W/(cm·K). To go back, divide by 0.01 or multiply by 100.

- Dividing when you should multiply: from W/(m·K) to W/(cm·K) multiply by 0.01; from W/(cm·K) to W/(m·K) divide by 0.01.
Watts per meter kelvin to Watts per centimeter kelvin FAQ
How many W/(cm·K) are in 1 W/(m·K)?
1 W/(m·K) equals 0.01 W/(cm·K).
How many W/(m·K) are in 1 W/(cm·K)?
1 W/(cm·K) equals 100 W/(m·K).
Is 1 W/(m·K) = 0.01 W/(cm·K) an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.01). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a watt per centimeter kelvin (W/(cm·K))?
Watt per centimetre kelvin, exactly 100 W/(m·K).
How can I estimate watts per meter kelvin to watts per centimeter kelvin in my head?
One W/(cm·K) is 100 times as large as one W/(m·K), so your number gets smaller when you convert watts per meter kelvin to watts per centimeter kelvin and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
What is 40 W/(m·K) in watts per centimeter kelvin?
40 W/(m·K) = 0.4 W/(cm·K) (since 40 × 0.01).
What is 200 W/(m·K) in watts per centimeter kelvin?
200 W/(m·K) = 2 W/(cm·K) (since 200 × 0.01).
What is 3 W/(m·K) in watts per centimeter kelvin?
3 W/(m·K) = 0.03 W/(cm·K) (since 3 × 0.01).
How many decimals should I keep when converting W/(m·K) to W/(cm·K)?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.1 W/(cm·K) rounds to 0.1 W/(cm·K) at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
