Key Features

Converts power from calorie (IT)/second, a thermal energy rate unit, to microjoule/second, a very small power measurement.
Supports precision handling of large-magnitude conversion factors between historical and modern units.
Ideal for applications in thermal calorimetry, low-power electronics, and photonics that use SI units.

Examples

2 cal/s converts to 8,373,600 µJ/s by multiplying 2 by 4,186,800.
0.5 cal/s converts to 2,093,400 µJ/s by multiplying 0.5 by 4,186,800.

Common Use Cases

Translating thermal power rates reported using the International Table calorie in laboratory settings.
Analyzing heating or cooling power from legacy thermal systems using calorie-based units.
