What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

Calorie (IT)/minute quantifies the rate of energy transfer in calories per minute, commonly used for small heat transfer rates in labs.

How do I convert from calorie (IT)/minute to calorie (IT)/hour?

Multiply the value in calorie (IT)/minute by 60 to get the equivalent power in calorie (IT)/hour.

Why use calorie (IT)/hour instead of calorie (IT)/minute?

Using calorie (IT)/hour expresses energy transfer rates over longer time intervals, which helps in comparison and analysis of power data.

Can I use this conversion for high power systems?

No. Calorie (IT) units represent small power rates and are not suitable for high-power applications.

Is this conversion compatible with SI units?

Conversion between calorie (IT) units and SI units requires additional steps beyond this direct rate conversion.

Select the target unit as calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h].
Click to perform the conversion and view the result.
Use the result to express energy transfer over longer time intervals.

Key Features

Converts power units between calorie (IT)/minute and calorie (IT)/hour.
Supports use cases in laboratory calorimetry, thermal engineering, and physiological studies.
Provides quick calculation based on a fixed conversion rate.
Includes example calculations for easy understanding.
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for immediate use.

Examples

2 cal/min is converted to 120 cal/h by multiplying 2 × 60.
0.5 cal/min converts to 30 cal/h using 0.5 × 60.
Convert any cal/min value by multiplying it by 60 to get cal/h.

Common Use Cases

Lab calorimetry reporting heat release or absorption rates.
Specifying heating power in small-scale thermal engineering equipment.
Physiology and exercise science for metabolic rate measurements over different time scales.
