What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute, often used in physiological and heating contexts.

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

To express power in smaller, more precise units suitable for low-level or steady-state heat flow measurements and to interpret different scales of energy transfer.

Can this conversion be used for all calorie definitions?

No, the conversion applies specifically to International Table calories and may not apply to other calorie standards.

Common Use Cases

Expressing metabolic or exercise energy expenditure on fitness devices
Reporting energy transfer in small heating or cooling applications using food-energy units
Measuring small steady heat flows in laboratory calorimetry
Interpreting historical technical documents with calorie-based units

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use the International Table definitions for calorie units during conversion
Use kilocalorie (IT)/minute for moderate to larger power rates and calorie (IT)/hour for very small steady heat flows
Double-check the context to select the most appropriate unit for your thermal or physiological measurement
Apply this conversion when dealing with both nutritional energy transfer rates and thermal testing scenarios

Limitations

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute units apply mainly to moderate or larger power rates, while calorie (IT)/hour suits very small values
Conversion is based on International Table calorie definitions and might not be valid for different calorie standards
Care is needed not to convert values that exceed meaningful ranges for the target unit

Key Terminology

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute: A power unit representing one kilocalorie (International Table) of energy transferred per minute, used in physiological and small-scale heating contexts.
Calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h]: A unit of power equal to one International Table calorie transferred per hour, suited for very small heat flow measurements.
Power: The rate at which energy is transferred or converted, expressed here in units combining calories and time.
