Watt/Square Metre

The watt per square metre (W/m²) is the SI unit of heat flux density and irradiance. It represents the power transmitted per unit area. The solar constant (total solar irradiance) at Earth's orbit is approximately 1361 W/m². Used in heat transfer engineering, solar energy, and thermal radiation analysis. 


Watt/Square Centimetre

The watt per square centimetre (W/cm²) equals 10,000 W/m² and is used in laser physics, electronics cooling, and high-intensity radiation measurements. Laser cutting and welding typically operate in the range of 10³–10⁶ W/cm², making this unit very practical in high-power applications.
