How the micrometer per meter per kelvin to parts per million per °f conversion works
Multiply by 0.5555555556 to go from micrometer per meter per kelvin to parts per million per °f:
ppm/°F = µm/(m·K) × 0.5555555556
Going the other way, multiply by 1.8, which is the same as dividing by 0.5555555556.
