How to Convert Watts per Square Meter-°C to Watts per Square Meter-Kelvin
To convert watts per square meter-°c to watts per square meter-kelvin, multiply the heat transfer coefficient by the following conversion ratio: 1 watts per square meter-kelvin/watt per square meter-°c.
Since one watt per square meter-°c is equal to 1 watts per square meter-kelvin, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The heat transfer coefficient in watts per square meter-kelvin is equal to the heat transfer coefficient in watts per square meter-°c multiplied by 1.
For example, here's how to convert 10 watts per square meter-°c to watts per square meter-kelvin using the formula above.

What Is a Watt per Square Meter-°C?
A watt per square meter-°c is a unit of heat transfer coefficient equal to 1 watts per square meter-kelvin (W/(m²·K)), the base unit for heat transfer coefficient. Equal to 1 W/(m²·K). [1]
The watt per square meter-°c is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of heat transfer coefficient. Watts per Square Meter-°C can be abbreviated as W/(m²·°C); for example, 1 watt per square meter-°c can be written as 1 W/(m²·°C).
When working with watts per square meter-°c (W/(m²·°C)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, watts per square meter-°c (W/(m²·°C)) are widely used across standard heat transfer coefficient applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Watt per Square Meter-Kelvin?
SI unit of heat transfer coefficient and window U-value. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring heat transfer coefficient across scientific and practical applications. [2]
The watt per square meter-kelvin is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of heat transfer coefficient. Watts per Square Meter-Kelvin can be abbreviated as W/(m²·K); for example, 1 watt per square meter-kelvin can be written as 1 W/(m²·K).
As the primary coherent reference unit for heat transfer coefficient in this category, all other heat transfer coefficient units are mathematically anchored to the watt per square meter-kelvin (W/(m²·K)).
In practice, watts per square meter-kelvin (W/(m²·K)) are widely used across standard heat transfer coefficient applications within International System of Units (SI) workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting heat transfer coefficient between watts per square meter-°c (W/(m²·°C)) and watts per square meter-kelvin (W/(m²·K)), keep full floating-point precision (1 W/(m²·°C) = 1 W/(m²·K); 1 W/(m²·K) = 1 W/(m²·°C)) during intermediate calculations and round only the final watt per square meter-kelvin figure to match your instrument tolerance.
