Are these conversions exact for all temperatures and materials?

No, thermal conductivity varies with temperature and material state, so conversions assume consistent conditions.

What should I consider about units when converting thermal conductivity?

Be mindful of the different base units for thickness and time, as well as calorie definitions, to ensure accurate conversions.
