What is the conversion factor from calorie (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/minute?

The conversion factor is 0.0166666667, meaning 1 calorie (IT) per hour equals approximately 0.0166666667 calorie (IT) per minute.

Why use calorie (IT) units instead of SI units like watts?

Calorie (IT) units are often used in historical literature and specific thermal or calorimetric contexts where very small heat transfer rates are involved.

Can this conversion be used for fluctuating heat transfer rates?

This conversion assumes steady-state or averaged rates and might not accurately represent highly variable or transient heat flow conditions.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate power values expressed in calorie (IT) per hour (cal/h) into calorie (IT) per minute (cal/min), facilitating easier interpretation of small heat transfer rates in various scientific and engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in calorie (IT) per hour you wish to convert.
Select the input unit as calorie (IT)/hour and the output unit as calorie (IT)/minute.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in calorie (IT)/minute.
Review the result displayed, which reflects the rate of energy transfer on a per minute basis.

Key Features

Converts power units between calorie (IT)/hour and calorie (IT)/minute.
Uses a precise conversion factor based on standard definitions of the International Table calorie.
Supports understanding heat rates over different time scales for scientific analysis.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
Ideal for small-scale thermal measurements and calorimetric data.

Examples

Convert 10 calorie (IT) per hour to calorie (IT) per minute: 10 × 0.0166666667 = 0.166666667 cal/min.
Convert 50 calorie (IT) per hour to calorie (IT) per minute: 50 × 0.0166666667 = 0.833333335 cal/min.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting small steady heat flows in laboratory calorimetry experiments.
Reporting heat release or absorption rates in thermal engineering applications.
Analyzing metabolic rates in physiology and exercise science on a minute scale.
Converting historical thermal data reported in calories per hour to modern minute-based rates.
Estimating low-level heat transfer in thermal testing of materials and insulated components.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady-state or averaged measurement conditions before applying conversions.
Use this conversion mainly for small heat transfer power rates relevant to your analysis.
Remember that calorie units are non-SI; convert to watts as necessary for compatibility.
Cross-check converted values when dealing with precise thermal measurements.
Apply the conversion factor carefully to avoid rounding errors in critical calculations.

Limitations

Represents very small power values requiring accurate measurement instruments.
Calorie units are non-SI, so further conversion to SI units might be needed for engineering use.
Conversion assumes steady or averaged conditions, which may not hold for highly variable thermal systems.
