What is a calorie (th)/hour used for?

It is used to measure small rates of heat transfer in laboratory calorimetry, metabolic heat production, and low heat output in small devices.

Why convert calorie (th)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

To express thermal power in larger or more practical units commonly used in physiology, food energy, and heating device ratings.

Can this conversion be used for mechanical power?

No, this converter only applies to thermal power units and is not suitable for mechanical or non-thermal power contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in calorie (th)/hour units you wish to convert.
Select the target unit as kilocalorie (th)/minute from the options.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent thermal power value.
Review the converted result displayed in kilocalorie (th)/minute.
Use the result for metabolic power, calorimetry, or heating equipment assessments.

Key Features

Converts between calorie (th)/hour and kilocalorie (th)/minute units of thermal power.
Based on thermochemical calorie definitions and standard SI energy equivalents.
Provides precise unit conversion suitable for laboratory and physiological applications.
Offers quick calculation using a fixed conversion rate.
Browser-based and easy to access without installation.

Examples

Convert 100 cal (th)/h to kilocalorie (th)/minute: 100 × 0.0000166667 = 0.00166667 kcal (th)/min
Convert 5000 cal (th)/h to kilocalorie (th)/minute: 5000 × 0.0000166667 = 0.0833335 kcal (th)/min

Common Use Cases

Reporting small heat-transfer rates in chemical reaction calorimetry labs.
Measuring metabolic or exercise energy expenditure in physiology.
Evaluating heat output of small burners, grills, or laboratory heaters.
Expressing thermal power in food-energy transfer calculations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure units are thermal power related as conversion is specific to heat transfer.
Use the exact conversion factor 0.0000166667 for accurate results.
Be mindful of very small decimal results when converting from cal (th)/hour to kcal (th)/minute.
Apply converted values contextually, especially in physiology or calorimetry applications.

Limitations

Conversions often produce very small decimal values due to differing unit scales.
Precision and rounding should be considered for very low or high input values.
The conversion is designed for thermal power units and not applicable for mechanical or non-thermal power measurements.
