What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert power values from the historical unit calorie (IT) per second (cal/s) to the CGS unit erg per second (erg/s). It is ideal for working with thermal power rates expressed in calories and comparing them with astrophysical or thermal physics data reported in ergs.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in calorie (IT)/second you want to convert
  • Select calorie (IT)/second as the source unit
  • Choose erg/second as the destination unit
  • Click 'Convert' to get the result in erg/second
  • Review example conversions to ensure accuracy

Key Features

  • Converts power from calorie (IT)/second to erg/second units accurately
  • Supports unit conversions relevant for thermal physics and astrophysics
  • Facilitates comparison between historical calorie-based data and CGS units
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Provides example conversions for clarity

Examples

  • 2 cal/s converts to 83736000 erg/s
  • 0.5 cal/s converts to 20934000 erg/s

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry using historical calorie units
  • Describing heating or cooling capacities in older systems employing calorie-based measurements
  • Converting thermal power values to CGS units for astrophysical luminosity and radiative power
  • Analyzing legacy data for scientific research and engineering purposes

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this tool mainly when working with legacy thermal data expressed in calories
  • Verify unit selection carefully to avoid conversion errors
  • Understand that erg values may be very large due to the small size of the erg unit
  • Cross-check conversions when integrating with SI unit-based systems

Limitations

  • The calorie (IT) is a historical unit rarely used in modern calculations
  • Erg is a very small CGS unit leading to large numerical results that may be cumbersome
  • Conversion precision depends on the original calorie measurement and its significant figures
  • Primarily relevant for legacy data and specialized scientific contexts

Frequently Asked Questions

What does calorie (IT)/second measure?
Calorie (IT)/second measures the rate of energy transfer in International Table calories per second, expressing thermal power or heat-transfer rates.

Why would I convert calorie (IT)/second to erg/second?
This conversion helps integrate thermal power data with CGS-based measurements, such as those in astrophysics or older scientific literature.

Is this conversion useful for modern engineering?
It is mainly useful for analyzing legacy data or historical values rather than typical modern engineering calculations that use watts.

Key Terminology

Calorie (IT)/second [cal/s]
A unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second, used for thermal power or heat-transfer rates.
Erg/second [erg/s]
A CGS-system power unit equal to one erg of energy transferred per second, frequently used in astrophysics and older theoretical calculations.
Conversion Rate
The factor 1 cal/s equals 41,868,000 erg/s, used to translate power values between these two units.
