What is the definition of calorie (IT)/minute?

It is a power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer of one international-table calorie per minute, used in scientific and engineering contexts.

How is calorie (th)/hour defined?

Calorie (th)/hour measures heat transfer rate of one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, used for quantifying thermal power.

Why do I need to convert between these two calorie units?

Because they represent different calorie definitions and time scales, conversion ensures correct expression and comparison of heat transfer rates.

Browser-based and easy to use for quick power unit conversions
Facilitates comparisons of heat transfer rates using different calorie definitions

Examples

2 cal (IT)/min converts to approximately 120.08 cal (th)/h
0.5 cal (IT)/min converts to approximately 30.02 cal (th)/h

Common Use Cases

Laboratory calorimetry measuring heat release or absorption in chemical processes
Small-scale thermal engineering specifying heating power of lab heaters or hot plates
Physiology and exercise science reporting metabolic rates on a small time scale
Expressing metabolic or physiological heat production rates in calories per hour
Thermal management of low-power components where precise heat transfer needs tracking

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify which calorie definition is used in your data to apply the correct conversion
Keep in mind the time basis difference when interpreting converted values
Consider using SI units like watts for standardized power measurement where applicable
Use this tool for comparative analysis between thermal units in different scientific contexts
Double-check output values for critical applications involving thermal power

Limitations

Calorie (IT) and calorie (th) have distinct definitions making values not directly interchangeable
Time intervals differ, requiring use of the provided conversion factor to ensure accuracy
Both units are non-SI; thus, watts are preferred in strict scientific and engineering standards
