Watt per square inch to kilowatt per square meter Conversion
1 watt per square inch (W/in²) is equal to 1.5500031 kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²).
1 W/in² = 1.5500031 kW/m²
or
1 kW/m² = 0.64516 W/in²
Formula
To convert a heat flux density from watt per square inch (W/in²) to kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²), multiply the heat flux density in watt per square inch by 1.5500031
h(kW/m²) = h(W/in²) × 1.5500031
Examples:
Convert 250 watt per square inch to kilowatt per square meter:
h(kW/m²) = 250W/in² × 1.5500031 = 387.500775 kW/m²
