Watt per square meter to kilowatt per square meter Conversion
1 watt per square meter (W/m²) is equal to 0.001 kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²).
1 W/m² = 0.001 kW/m²
or
1 kW/m² = 1000 W/m²
Formula
To convert a heat flux density from watt per square meter (W/m²) to kilowatt per square meter (kW/m²), divide the heat flux density in watt per square meter by 1000
h(kW/m²) = h(W/m²) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 250 watt per square meter to kilowatt per square meter:
h(kW/m²) = 250W/m² / 1000 = 0.25 kW/m²
