Using Thermal Conductivity Converter with the right inputs

Use Thermal Conductivity Converter locally in your browser. Start by matching your task to the quantities and options shown below. The definitions of the inputs matter as much as the final number or transformed output; retain the original values so that you can repeat or check the result.

Inputs and options explained

• Thermal conductivity: Enter the numeric value for this quantity using the units or scale shown in the label.
• From: choose Watts per metre kelvin (W/m·K), Milliwatts per metre kelvin (mW/m·K), BTU per hour foot °F (BTU/h·ft·°F).
• To: choose Watts per metre kelvin (W/m·K), Milliwatts per metre kelvin (mW/m·K), BTU per hour foot °F (BTU/h·ft·°F).

Example to try in this tool

Use the following sample values to see how the controls and result fit together. They are an illustration of the operation, not recommended values for your own situation.

• Thermal conductivity: 10
• From: Watts per metre kelvin (W/m·K)
• To: Watts per metre kelvin (W/m·K)

Select Convert thermal conductivity. The result begins with:

Converted thermal conductivity

10

This example records the tool’s output for those inputs. Check the method and assumptions against your own task before using a result; reproducing an example is not independent certification of the underlying model.

Interpretation and limitations

Identify the physical quantity, measurement units and assumed conditions before calculating. A mathematical relationship is useful only within the model it describes. Real measurements include uncertainty, and additional effects may matter outside the simplified situation represented by the inputs.

Before you use the output

• Choose the intended action: Convert thermal conductivity. Re-run the operation after changing an input or mode so that you are checking the updated result.
• Read the result label and any accompanying explanation. Keep the input values or source file with the output so that a later comparison uses the same assumptions.
• If a result looks unexpected, check units, separators and selected options first. Try a smaller example you can verify rather than repeatedly changing several settings at once.

Questions or a result that needs checking?

If you find a discrepancy, report a problem with Thermal Conductivity Converter. Include a non-sensitive example, the selected options, the result you expected and the result shown. This makes the issue easier to reproduce. See About & privacy for how the site handles tool inputs.
