What is a dekajoule per second?

It is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, used to express energy transfer rates.

Why use calorie (IT)/hour as a unit of power?

It is useful for measuring very small heat flow rates, especially in laboratory calorimetry and thermal testing.

Can I convert high power values using this tool?

This unit is intended for small power levels; using it for high power results in very large numbers that can be unwieldy.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change power measurements from dekajoule per second (daJ/s), an SI-derived unit, to calorie (IT) per hour (cal/h), a unit used mainly for small heat flow rates in thermal testing and calorimetry. It helps bridge modern SI units with historical calorie-based units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in dekajoule per second (daJ/s)
Select dekajoule per second as the input unit and calorie (IT) per hour as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in calorie (IT) per hour
Use the result for analysis in thermal processes or calorimetric reporting

Key Features

Converts from dekajoule per second [daJ/s] to calorie (IT) per hour [cal/h]
Based on the exact conversion rate 1 daJ/s = 8598.4522785899 cal/h
Supports application in laboratory calorimetry and thermal testing
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Useful for translating SI unit measurements to small heat flow rates in calories

Examples

2 daJ/s converts to approximately 17196.9 cal/h
0.5 daJ/s converts to roughly 4299.23 cal/h

Common Use Cases

Measuring small heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry
Interpreting technical specifications in older literature using calorie units
Estimating heat losses or gains in small insulated components
Reporting power in thermal and material testing environments

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the definition of the calorie used is the International Table calorie for consistency
Apply this conversion mainly for low power levels to avoid handling very large numbers
Ensure measurements represent steady-state conditions for meaningful conversion
Use the tool for bridging SI and calorie units in research or engineering contexts

Limitations

Calorie (IT)/hour is designed for very small power values and can be impractical for high power
Conversion accuracy depends on the calorie definition; this tool uses the International Table calorie
Not suitable for transient or dynamic thermal conditions where steady-state assumptions fail
