What does calorie (IT)/second represent?

It is a power unit representing the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie each second, commonly used for heat-transfer rates.

Why convert to kilojoule/minute?

Kilojoule/minute is a modern unit measuring energy transfer per minute, allowing easier comparison with physiological and engineering data.

Can I use this converter for thermochemical calories?

No, this tool only supports the International Table calorie and may not be accurate for other calorie definitions.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power values from calorie (IT)/second (cal/s) to kilojoule/minute (kJ/min), helping translate heat transfer rates given per second in an older calorie unit to a modern energy rate measured over a minute.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in calorie (IT)/second into the input field.
Select calorie (IT)/second as the from-unit if not preselected.
Choose kilojoule/minute as the to-unit for conversion.
Click convert to see the equivalent power value in kilojoule/minute.

Key Features

Converts units of power related to heat energy transfer.
Uses the International Table calorie for precise conversion.
Displays results in the widely accepted kilojoule per minute unit.
Facilitates comparisons between historical and modern energy measurements.

Examples

5 cal/s equals 1.25604 kJ/min.
10 cal/s equals 2.51208 kJ/min.

Common Use Cases

Expressing heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry contexts.
Analyzing metabolic energy usage in exercise physiology over minutes.
Converting thermal power values from historic records for modern engineering.
Describing heating or cooling capacity in systems using traditional calorie units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the from unit matches the International Table calorie definition.
Use this conversion when comparing energy rates across different time bases.
Double-check the unit definitions when working with historical versus modern calorie values.
Apply the tool for laboratory and physiological data that requires consistent time units.

Limitations

Does not support calorie definitions other than the International Table calorie.
Ignores variations in energy flow within the one-second or one-minute interval.
Conversion factor rounding may slightly limit precision.
Time base differences between seconds and minutes affect direct comparability.
