What does one calorie (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the power equivalent to transferring one international-table calorie of energy per minute, commonly used for small heat rates.

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

Converting allows expressing small heat transfer rates into a larger unit useful in engineering and thermal system evaluations.

Are there differences between the calorie types involved?

Yes, calorie (IT) and kilocalorie (th) use different calorie definitions, which can affect precision if not considered.

Key Features

Converts power units from calorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/second.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick heat transfer rate conversions.
Supports applications in laboratories, thermal engineering, and HVAC design.
Allows precise translation between small continuous heat rates and larger thermal power units.
Includes accurate conversion factors based on international definitions.

Examples

Convert 100 calorie (IT)/minute to get 0.00166778 kilocalorie (th)/second.
Convert 500 calorie (IT)/minute to obtain 0.0083389 kilocalorie (th)/second.

Common Use Cases

Laboratory calorimetry to express rates of heat release or absorption.
Specifying heating power for laboratory heaters and hot plates.
Reporting metabolic rates in physiology and exercise science.
Determining heat output of heating elements, boilers, and burners.
Sizing heat exchangers and HVAC components using calorie-based data.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the correct selection of units before conversion to avoid errors.
Account for the difference between international-table and thermochemical calorie definitions when interpreting results.
Be mindful of the time unit difference—converting per minute to per second—within calculations.
Use this conversion for small to moderate power rates rather than large-scale industrial values.
Cross-check results when applying conversions in critical engineering scenarios.

Limitations

Differences in calorie definitions can cause small discrepancies in conversion outputs.
Calorie (IT)/minute unit is better suited for small continuous heat transfer rates, less ideal for large industrial uses.
Users must ensure proper alignment of time units (minutes vs seconds) to prevent inaccurate conversions.
