Formula and example

How it is calculated

Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

0.04 W/(m·K) = 0.0004 W/(cm·K).

Things to check

  • Thermal conductivity is a material property. Changing its unit leaves the material temperature, condition and moisture content unchanged.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
