Convert cal/(s·cm·°C) to Milliwatts per Metre Kelvin
1 calorie per second centimetre degree Celsius (cal/(s·cm·°C)) = 418400 milliwatts per metre kelvin (mW/(m·K)). 1 mW/(m·K) = 0.000002390057361 cal/(s·cm·°C). Example: 15 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 15 × 418400 = 6276000 mW/(m·K).

How to Convert cal/(s·cm·°C) to Milliwatt per Metre Kelvin
- 1 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 418400 mW/(m·K)
- 1 mW/(m·K) = 0.000002390057361 cal/(s·cm·°C)
- Example: convert 15 cal/(s·cm·°C) to mW/(m·K): 15 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 15 × 418400 mW/(m·K) = 6276000 mW/(m·K)
Reference conditions. cal/(s·cm·°C): Thermochemical calorie (4.184 J)
Formula
mW/(m·K) = cal/(s·cm·°C) × 418400
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cal_th/(s·cm·°C) = 4.184 J ÷ (1 s × 0.01 m × 1 K) = 418.4 W/(m·K) (exact)
- 1 mW/(m·K) = 0.001 W/(m·K)
- 1 cal/(s·cm·°C) = 418.4 W/(m·K) ÷ 0.001 W/(m·K) per mW/(m·K) = 418400 mW/(m·K)
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. cal/(s·cm·°C) definition: calorie per second centimetre degree Celsius; Milliwatt per Metre Kelvin definition: milliwatt per metre kelvin.
Worked examples
- A reading of 0.005 cal/(s·cm·°C) converts to 2092 mW/(m·K).
0.005 cal/(s·cm·°C) × 418400 = 2092 mW/(m·K) - A value of 0.1 cal/(s·cm·°C) is 41840 mW/(m·K).
0.1 cal/(s·cm·°C) × 418400 = 41840 mW/(m·K)
