What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat energy transfer in units of International Table calories per second.

Why convert calorie (IT)/second to joule/second?

To translate historical or calorie-based thermal power data into current SI units for consistency and analysis.

Is joule/second the same as watt?

Yes, one joule per second is exactly equivalent to one watt, the SI unit of power.

Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

Convert 5 calorie (IT)/second to joule/second: 5 × 4.1868 = 20.934 J/s
Convert 0.1 calorie (IT)/second to joule/second: 0.1 × 4.1868 = 0.41868 J/s

Common Use Cases

Expressing heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry using the International Table calorie
Describing heating or cooling capacity from older technical systems that use calorie units
Converting legacy thermal power values into SI units for modern engineering analysis

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the calorie unit is the International Table calorie for consistent conversions
Use this tool primarily for converting thermal power values, not mechanical or electrical power without context
Check old technical data sources carefully to confirm the calorie definition used

Limitations

Calorie (IT) is a historical unit and not uniform across all calorie definitions
Accuracy depends on proper identification of the International Table calorie
Conversion is intended only for thermal power; it may not suit mechanical or electrical power measurements
