Why convert microjoules to calorie (IT)?

This conversion helps link very small energy measurements used in modern research with historical thermodynamic data primarily expressed in calorie (IT) units.

Is calorie (IT) still used today?

Calorie (IT) is largely a historical unit replaced by the joule but remains relevant for legacy engineering literature and older steam table data.

Can this tool be used for very precise scientific work?

The tool provides accurate conversions but very small values might involve rounding errors; it is ideal for interpreting legacy data rather than precision current measurements.
