What does joule per minute measure?

Joule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer or conversion averaged over one minute.

Why use calorie (IT) per minute instead of joule per minute?

Calorie (IT) per minute represents heat energy transfer rates using the international table calorie, which can be more intuitive for thermal and calorimetry applications.

Can I use this conversion for instantaneous power readings?

No, this tool is designed for average power calculations over minutes and is not suitable for instantaneous measurements requiring finer temporal resolution.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change power values measured in joules per minute (J/min) into calories per minute (cal/min) based on the international table calorie. It is ideal for working with rates of energy transfer or heat over minute intervals.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the power value in joule per minute (J/min) you want to convert
Select joule/minute as the original unit
Choose calorie (IT)/minute as the target unit
Click convert to get the equivalent power in cal/min

Key Features

Converts power from joule/minute to calorie (IT)/minute using a precise conversion rate
Supports measurements commonly used in calorimetry, thermal engineering, and physiology
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Displays results at the scale of energy transfer averaged per minute

Examples

Convert 5 J/min to cal/min: 5 × 0.2388458966 = 1.194229483 cal/min
Convert 10 J/min to cal/min: 10 × 0.2388458966 = 2.388458966 cal/min

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat release rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments
Specifying heating power of small laboratory heaters or hot plates
Expressing energy consumption or delivery rates for low-power devices aggregated per minute
Analyzing metabolic rates in exercise physiology on a per-minute basis

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure units are based on the international table calorie to maintain conversion accuracy
Use this tool when dealing with average power over minutes, not for instantaneous measurements
Double-check inputs to avoid errors during conversion
Apply results appropriately in contexts requiring minute-scale energy transfer rates

Limitations

Conversion is specific to the international table calorie and may differ from other calorie variants
Not suitable for high-precision instantaneous power measurements due to averaging over minutes
Applies only for power expressed as energy per minute; other time scales are outside its scope

Key Terminology

Joule per minute (J/min): A power unit representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion over one minute, equal to one sixtieth of a watt.
Calorie (IT)/minute (cal/min): A power unit expressing the transfer of one international table calorie of energy per minute, used for measuring heat transfer rates.
Power: The rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or used in a system, commonly measured in watts or derived units.
