How to Convert Calories per Second-Centimeter-°C to Kilowatts per Meter-Kelvin
To convert calories per second-centimeter-°c to kilowatts per meter-kelvin, multiply the thermal conductivity by the following conversion ratio: 0.4184 kilowatts per meter-kelvin/calorie per second-cm-°c.
Since one calorie per second-cm-°c is equal to 0.4184 kilowatts per meter-kelvin, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The thermal conductivity in kilowatts per meter-kelvin is equal to the thermal conductivity in calories per second-centimeter-°c multiplied by 0.4184.
For example, here's how to convert 5 calories per second-centimeter-°c to kilowatts per meter-kelvin using the formula above.

Our calorie per second-cm-°c to kilowatt per meter-kelvin calculator automatically converts your thermal conductivity measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Calories per Second-Centimeter-°C and kilowatts per meter-kelvin are both units used to measure thermal conductivity. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Calorie per Second-cm-°C?
A calorie per second-cm-°c is a unit of thermal conductivity equal to 418.4 watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)), the base unit for thermal conductivity. CGS thermal conductivity unit (418.4 W/(m·K)). [1]
The calorie per second-cm-°c is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of thermal conductivity. Calories per Second-Centimeter-°C can be abbreviated as cal/(s·cm·°C); for example, 1 calorie per second-cm-°c can be written as 1 cal/(s·cm·°C).
When working with calories per second-centimeter-°c (cal/(s·cm·°C)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, calories per second-centimeter-°c (cal/(s·cm·°C)) are widely used across standard thermal conductivity applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Kilowatt per Meter-Kelvin?
A kilowatt per meter-kelvin is a unit of thermal conductivity equal to 1,000 watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)), the base unit for thermal conductivity. Equal to 1,000 W/(m·K). [2]
The kilowatt per meter-kelvin is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of thermal conductivity. Kilowatts per Meter-Kelvin can be abbreviated as kW/(m·K); for example, 1 kilowatt per meter-kelvin can be written as 1 kW/(m·K).
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilowatt per meter-kelvin (kW/(m·K)) a convenient decimal multiple of the watt per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)).
In practice, kilowatts per meter-kelvin (kW/(m·K)) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level thermal conductivity specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting thermal conductivity between calories per second-centimeter-°c (cal/(s·cm·°C)) and kilowatts per meter-kelvin (kW/(m·K)), keep full floating-point precision (1 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 0.4184 kW/(m·K); 1 kW/(m·K) = 2.3900574 cal/(s·cm·°C)) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilowatt per meter-kelvin figure to match your instrument tolerance.
