Watt per square meter to watt per square inch Conversion
1 watt per square meter (W/m²) is equal to 0.00064516 watt per square inch (W/in²).
1 W/m² = 0.00064516 W/in²
or
1 W/in² = 1550.0031 W/m²
Formula
To convert a heat flux density from watt per square meter (W/m²) to watt per square inch (W/in²), divide the heat flux density in watt per square meter by 1550.0031
h(W/in²) = h(W/m²) / 1550.0031
Examples:
Convert 1000 watt per square meter to watt per square inch:
h(W/in²) = 1000W/m² / 1550.0031 = 0.64516 W/in²
