The dimensions are [L^2MT^(-2)K^(-1)]whereL = lengthM = MassT = TimeK = Temperature
The value of the constant, better known as the Stefan–Boltzmann constant is given, in SI units byσ = 5.670373×10^−8 W m^−2 K^−4W = Wattsm = metresK = Kelvin
They are not the same, but related. From Wikipedia (article "gas constant"): " [The gas constant] is equivalent to the Boltzmann constant, but expressed in units of energy (i.e. the pressure-volume product) per temperature increment per mole (rather than energy per temperature increment per particle)".
m^2*kg*s^-2*K-1m = metres, kg = kilograms, s = seconds, K = Kelvin.

It depends on the equation and the coefficient. Coefficients can be constant (Boltzmann constant, Avogadro's number) but they can also be variable (Reynolds number). The coefficient of gravity, g, is 9.81 m/s^2 in metric units on Earth.
In physics, "K" can represent various quantities depending on the context. It is commonly used to represent kinetic energy, the energy an object possesses due to its motion. K can also represent other physical quantities such as a spring constant, wave number, or Boltzmann constant.
In the SI system the radiation constant (Stefan-Boltzmann constant) is measured in W/m2.K4.
The relation between temperature and energy is given by the Boltzmann equation. Boltzmann found a consatn( called the boltzmann constant) that relates the two. That is Energy=k*T
The Boltzmann constant (kB or k), named after Ludwig Boltzmann, is a physical constant relating energy at the individual particle level with temperature.It is the gas constant R divided by the Avogadro constantIt has the same dimension (energy divided by temperature) as entropy. The accepted value in SI units is 1.3806488(13)×10−23 Joule/degree KFor more information refer to link below.

I suppose you mean physical constants such as the Heisenberg constant, the Boltzmann constant, the gas constant, the electron charge and so on. As you can see such values are independent on what kind of experiment you have, where, when and how.
V_mp (most probable speed) = sqrt(2KT/m) where K is the Boltzmann constant
15 million Kelvin is an important temperature in the context of nuclear fusion because it is the temperature required to initiate the fusion reaction in stars like our sun. At this temperature, the hydrogen nuclei have enough kinetic energy to overcome their mutual repulsion and fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Achieving such high temperatures on Earth is a major challenge for potential fusion power plants.
Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian physicist known for his work in statistical mechanics and the development of the kinetic theory of gases. He formulated the statistical definition of entropy and made significant contributions to the understanding of the behavior of atoms and molecules in gases. Boltzmann's work laid the foundation for the field of statistical thermodynamics.
