How to Convert Watts per Centimeter-°C to Watts per Meter-Kelvin
To convert watts per centimeter-°c to watts per meter-kelvin, multiply the thermal conductivity by the following conversion ratio: 100 watts per meter-kelvin/watt per centimeter-°c.
Since one watt per centimeter-°c is equal to 100 watts per meter-kelvin, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The thermal conductivity in watts per meter-kelvin is equal to the thermal conductivity in watts per centimeter-°c multiplied by 100.
For example, here's how to convert 10 watts per centimeter-°c to watts per meter-kelvin using the formula above.
How Many Watts per Meter-Kelvin Are in a Watt per Centimeter-°C?
There are 100 watts per meter-kelvin in a watt per centimeter-°c, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our watt per centimeter-°c to watt per meter-kelvin calculator automatically converts your thermal conductivity measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

What Is a Watt per Centimeter-°C?
A watt per centimeter-°c is a unit of thermal conductivity equal to 100 watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)), the base unit for thermal conductivity. Equal to 100 W/(m·K). [1]
The watt per centimeter-°c is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of thermal conductivity. Watts per Centimeter-°C can be abbreviated as W/(cm·°C); for example, 1 watt per centimeter-°c can be written as 1 W/(cm·°C).
When working with watts per centimeter-°c (W/(cm·°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 centimeter-°c (W/(cm·°C)) are widely used across standard thermal conductivity applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Watt per Meter-Kelvin?
Coherent SI unit of thermal conductivity. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring thermal conductivity across scientific and practical applications. [2]
The watt per meter-kelvin is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of thermal conductivity. Watts per Meter-Kelvin can be abbreviated as W/(m·K); for example, 1 watt per meter-kelvin can be written as 1 W/(m·K).
As the primary coherent reference unit for thermal conductivity in this category, all other thermal conductivity units are mathematically anchored to the watt per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)).
In practice, watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)) are widely used across standard thermal conductivity applications within International System of Units (SI) workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting thermal conductivity between watts per centimeter-°c (W/(cm·°C)) and watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m·K)), keep full floating-point precision (1 W/(cm·°C) = 100 W/(m·K); 1 W/(m·K) = 0.01 W/(cm·°C)) during intermediate calculations and round only the final watt per meter-kelvin figure to match your instrument tolerance.
