What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute, often used in physiological or thermal contexts.

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

Converting allows expressing power in smaller units, which is useful for increased precision or when dealing with lower energy transfer rates.

Can this conversion be used for other calorie definitions?

No, this conversion specifically uses the International Table calorie and assumes energy transfer per minute.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms values from kilocalorie (IT) per minute to calorie (IT) per minute, both of which are power units representing the rate of energy transfer. It helps users express energy transfer rates more precisely, especially in fields like physiology, laboratory calorimetry, and thermal engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the numerical value you want to convert in kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
Select kilocalorie (IT)/minute as the input unit and calorie (IT)/minute [cal/min] as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to view the equivalent value in calorie (IT)/minute.

Key Features

Converts power units based on energy transfer per minute using the International Table calorie definition.
Supports measuring metabolic or exercise energy expenditure and small-scale heating or cooling applications.
Provides quick access to accurate unit transformation within the same measurement category.

Examples

2 kilocalorie (IT)/minute equals 2000 calorie (IT)/minute [cal/min].
0.5 kilocalorie (IT)/minute equals 500 calorie (IT)/minute [cal/min].

Common Use Cases

Expressing calorie burn rates in fitness equipment or physiological studies.
Reporting heat release or absorption in laboratory calorimetry.
Specifying heating power for laboratory heaters or hot plates.
Measuring small-scale thermal energy transfer in cooking or food-related processes.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent use of the International Table calorie definition to maintain conversion accuracy.
Use this conversion to represent power in smaller units when greater precision is needed.
Verify that all inputs refer to power units expressed per minute for proper conversion.

Limitations

The conversion is valid only when using the International Table calorie and minutes as the time unit.
Users should confirm unit compatibility when converting to other power units such as watts.
This tool does not apply to calories or kilocalories defined by other standards.
