What does one calorie (IT) per minute measure?

It measures power as the transfer rate of one international-table calorie of energy in one minute, often used for small heat transfer rates.

Why convert calorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/minute expresses energy transfer on a larger, more practical scale for physiology and thermal engineering.

Are there limitations to this unit conversion?

Yes, differences in calorie definitions and scales may cause minor discrepancies, and it is most relevant for small power measurements.

Key Features

Converts power units between calorie (IT)/minute and kilocalorie (th)/minute.
Suitable for laboratory calorimetry, thermal engineering, and physiology applications.
Provides precise conversion using the defined rate of 1 cal/min = 0.0010006692 kcal(th)/min.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations.

Examples

500 cal/min × 0.0010006692 = 0.5003346 kcal(th)/min
1000 cal/min × 0.0010006692 = 1.0006692 kcal(th)/min

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat release or absorption rates in laboratory calorimetry.
Specifying heating power for small laboratory heaters or hot plates.
Monitoring metabolic rates and exercise energy expenditure in physiology.
Rating heat output of small burners, grills, or similar equipment.
Performing food-energy transfer and calorimetry calculations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use the correct calorie definition (international-table calorie and thermochemical kilocalorie) when interpreting results.
Use this conversion primarily for small-scale power measurements to maintain accuracy.
For large-scale applications, consider using SI units like watts for clarity and standardization.

Limitations

Small discrepancies may arise due to different definitions of calorie units.
Conversion is most meaningful at small power scales; it is less suited for high-power contexts.
Precision depends on accurate measurement of heat transfer and the calorie definitions applied.
