What Is This Tool?
This tool converts specific energy measurements from calorie (IT)/gram to joule/kilogram, enabling users to translate traditional calorie-based energy densities into the SI unit joule for standardization in fuel and energy analyses.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in calorie (IT)/gram that you want to convert.
- Select calorie (IT)/gram as the input unit and joule/kilogram as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent energy in joule/kilogram.
- Use the result for engineering calculations, fuel comparisons, or energy reporting.
Key Features
- Converts energy density values from calorie (IT)/gram to joule/kilogram.
- Uses a precise conversion rate based on the relation: 1 cal/g = 4186.8 J/kg.
- Supports energy calculations relevant for fuels, propellants, batteries, and thermodynamic systems.
- Browser-based and easy to use for scientific and engineering applications.
Examples
- 2 cal/g converts to 8373.6 J/kg by multiplying 2 × 4186.8.
- 0.5 cal/g converts to 2093.4 J/kg using the conversion factor.
