Formula
To convert a heat flux density from watt per square centimeter (W/cm²) to watt per square inch (W/in²), multiply the heat flux density in watt per square centimeter by 6.4516
h(W/in²) = h(W/cm²) × 6.4516
Examples:
Convert 50 watt per square centimeter to watt per square inch:
h(W/in²) = 50W/cm² × 6.4516 = 322.58 W/in²
