What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion between gram per calorie (IT) and kilojoule per kilogram, two units measuring fuel efficiency mass — mass per unit of energy. It aids in translating mass-to-energy metrics from calorie-based units to the widely used SI units of kilojoules per kilogram.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/calorie (IT) unit you want to convert
  • Select the target unit as kilojoule/kilogram
  • Submit the input to receive the equivalent value applying the conversion factor

Key Features

  • Converts gram/calorie (IT) to kilojoule/kilogram accurately based on the defined conversion rate
  • Supports fuel efficiency mass measurement for fuel comparisons and energy analyses
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring prior conversion knowledge

Examples

  • Convert 1 g/cal by multiplying by 4.1868 to get 4.1868 kJ/kg
  • Convert 2 g/cal by multiplying by 4.1868 to get 8.3736 kJ/kg

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing the mass of fuel needed to provide a specified heat output
  • Calculating fuel mass requirements for thermal energy delivery in heating and calorimetry
  • Reporting mass-specific fuel consumption where energy is initially expressed in calories
  • Evaluating fuel calorific values and energy content for engines, boilers, and propulsion

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the calorie unit used matches the International-Table calorie definition
  • Use this conversion for thermal energy-related mass efficiency metrics only
  • Apply the conversion factor consistently when comparing fuel or propellant energy densities

Limitations

  • Conversion is specific to International-Table calorie (4.1868 J); other calorie definitions may differ
  • Intended for mass per thermal energy units; applying beyond this scope may lead to errors

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/calorie (IT) measure?
Gram/calorie (IT) measures how many grams of a substance are needed to produce one International-Table calorie of energy, representing mass per unit energy.

Why convert gram/calorie (IT) to kilojoule/kilogram?
Converting to kilojoule/kilogram provides a standard international unit for specific energy, useful in engineering, thermodynamics, and fuel efficiency evaluations.

Is the conversion valid for all calorie definitions?
No, the conversion assumes the International-Table calorie definition. Using other calorie definitions may cause inaccuracies.

Key Terminology

Gram/calorie (IT) [g/cal]
A unit expressing how many grams of material are needed to produce one International-Table calorie of energy, representing mass per thermal energy.
Kilojoule/kilogram [kJ/kg]
A specific energy unit indicating kilojoules of energy delivered per kilogram of substance, widely used for fuel and energy content measurements.
International-Table calorie
A calorie definition equal to 4.1868 joules, used as the basis for energy unit conversions involving calories.
