What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to translate power measurements expressed in calorie (IT) per hour into calorie (IT) per second, units used to quantify heat transfer rates based on the International Table calorie. It supports thermal analysis and historical data interpretation by switching between these time-based units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value measured in calorie (IT) per hour.
Select the source unit as calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h].
Choose the target unit as calorie (IT)/second [cal/s].
Click convert to get the equivalent power in calorie (IT) per second.

Key Features

Converts power units from calorie (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/second with a defined conversion rate
Supports small heat flow rate measurements frequently used in laboratory calorimetry
Offers accurate interpretation of historical technical data involving calorie-based power units
Facilitates comparisons between older calorie-based units and modern SI units like watts

Examples

Convert 10 cal/h to cal/s: 10 × 0.0002777778 = 0.002777778 cal/s
Convert 100 cal/h to cal/s: 100 × 0.0002777778 = 0.02777778 cal/s

Common Use Cases

Determining small heat-transfer rates in thermal experiments using international calorie units
Converting and interpreting heat flow data from historical or technical literature that uses calorie-based units
Estimating low-level heat gains or losses in experimental setups and insulated components

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure measurements use the International Table calorie definition for consistency
Use this conversion for low power quantities as large-scale measurements are better expressed in watts
Apply conversions carefully when comparing historical data to modern thermal power units

Limitations

Only applicable for very small power quantities reflecting low heat-transfer rates
Dependent on precise definition of calorie (IT) and consistent time units
Not suitable for large thermal power values commonly represented in watts
