Watt per square meter to watt per square centimeter Conversion
1 watt per square meter (W/m²) is equal to 0.0001 watt per square centimeter (W/cm²).
1 W/m² = 0.0001 W/cm²
or
1 W/cm² = 10000 W/m²
Formula
To convert a heat flux density from watt per square meter (W/m²) to watt per square centimeter (W/cm²), divide the heat flux density in watt per square meter by 10000
h(W/cm²) = h(W/m²) / 10000
Examples:
Convert 500 watt per square meter to watt per square centimeter:
h(W/cm²) = 500W/m² / 10000 = 0.05 W/cm²
