Convert temperature gradient units including kelvin per meter, celsius per meter, fahrenheit per foot, kelvin per inch, celsius per foot, fahrenheit per inch, and more.
Kelvin per meter to Celsius per meter:
1 K/m = 1 °C/m
Fahrenheit per foot to Kelvin per meter:
1 °F/ft = 1.82269 K/m
Celsius per foot to Kelvin per meter:
1 °C/ft = 3.28084 K/m
Kelvin per centimeter to Kelvin per meter:
1 K/cm = 100 K/m
Temperature gradient conversions are useful for heat conduction, wall and roof heat transfer, pipe insulation, geothermal gradients, electronics cooling, material testing, furnaces, thermal stress, and energy calculations.
Use this converter when comparing SI, metric, and U.S. customary temperature-change-per-distance units.
Your result shows the entered temperature gradient converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering and heat transfer work, make sure the gradient unit matches your conduction equation, thermal model, material data, wall assembly, pipe insulation calculation, or temperature profile.
A temperature gradient is the change in temperature over a given distance.
The common SI unit is kelvin per meter, abbreviated as K/m.
For temperature differences, K/m and °C/m are numerically equivalent.
Multiply °F/ft by approximately 1.82269 to convert to K/m.
This converter is designed for temperature gradient magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
