Kilowatt per square meter to watt per square inch Conversion
1 kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²) is equal to 0.64516 watt per square inch (W/in²).
1 kW/m² = 0.64516 W/in²
or
1 W/in² = 1.5500031 kW/m²
Formula
To convert a heat flux density from kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²) to watt per square inch (W/in²), divide the heat flux density in kilowatt per square meter by 1.5500031
h(W/in²) = h(kW/m²) / 1.5500031
Examples:
Convert 500 kilowatt per square meter to watt per square inch:
h(W/in²) = 500kW/m² / 1.5500031 = 322.58 W/in²
