How to Convert Watt per Centimeter per Degree Celsius to Kilocalorie (th) per Hour per Meter per Degree Celsius

Conversion Formula

1 W/(cm·°C) = 86.042 kcal/(h·m·°C)
1 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 0.012 W/(cm·°C)

Example

Convert 15 W/(cm·°C) to kcal/(h·m·°C):

15 W/(cm·°C) = 15 × 86.042 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 1290.631 kcal/(h·m·°C)
