What is the conversion factor between kilocalorie (th)/hour and calorie (th)/hour?

One kilocalorie (th)/hour equals one thousand calorie (th)/hour.

Why use calorie (th)/hour instead of kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Calorie (th)/hour provides finer measurement scale for smaller heat transfer rates, useful in laboratory and physiological contexts.

Are kilocalorie (th)/hour and calorie (th)/hour SI units?

No, both are non-SI units derived from the thermochemical calorie definition; watts are the preferred SI power unit.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power units from kilocalorie (th)/hour, representing larger heat transfer rates, to calorie (th)/hour, which measures heat flow on a finer scale. Both units express thermal power as the rate of heat transfer using thermochemical calorie definitions.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the amount in kilocalorie (th)/hour you wish to convert.
Select the input unit as kilocalorie (th)/hour.
Choose calorie (th)/hour [cal (th)/h] as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent value in calorie (th)/hour.

Key Features

Converts kilocalorie (th)/hour to calorie (th)/hour with a clear conversion ratio.
Supports applications in HVAC, appliance specifications, laboratory calorimetry, and biomedical heat measurements.
Browser-based and easy to use with quick input and output results.
Facilitates detailed heat transfer quantification at smaller scales.

Examples

Convert 2 kilocalorie (th)/hour to calorie (th)/hour: result is 2000 cal (th)/h.
Convert 0.5 kilocalorie (th)/hour to calorie (th)/hour: result is 500 cal (th)/h.

Common Use Cases

Determining heat output ratings of small heaters and cooking appliances.
Calculating thermal gains or losses in building heating and cooling load analyses.
Reporting metabolic heat production in biomedical applications.
Measuring small heat transfer rates in laboratory chemical reactions.

Tips & Best Practices

Use calorie (th)/hour for detailed measurement of low heat transfer rates.
Consider SI unit watts for standardization alongside thermochemical units.
Verify unit definitions especially in contexts involving legacy or alternative calorie units.
Apply conversions carefully when measuring heat flow for small electronic or refrigeration components.

Limitations

Both units are non-SI, based on thermochemical calorie definitions, potentially requiring SI watt conversions for uniformity.
Accuracy depends on the thermochemical calorie definition; alternative calorie definitions may cause inconsistencies.
Best suited for small-scale heat flow; larger industrial measurements usually use watts or related SI units.
