What is a kilocalorie (IT)?

It is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 international-table calories, with each calorie defined as 4.1868 joules.

What does gram-force meter measure?

Gram-force meter measures work or energy done by a force of one gram-force acting through one meter, based on standard gravity.

Why use this conversion tool?

It helps relate thermal energy values to mechanical work, especially when working with legacy systems or historical data requiring force-distance units.
