What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you transform measurements of power from kilocalorie (th)/minute to calorie (th)/minute, useful for detailed analysis in thermal energy transfer, metabolic power, and laboratory settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in kilocalorie (th)/minute
-
Select kilocalorie (th)/minute as the input unit
-
Choose calorie (th)/minute as the output unit
-
Apply the conversion to see the equivalent power in calorie (th)/minute
-
Use the results for metabolic, calorimetric, or heating rate analyses
Key Features
-
Converts power units specific to thermochemical calories per minute
-
Supports physiology, calorimetry, and food science applications
-
Includes exact conversion factor and formula
-
User-friendly interface for precise unit conversion
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Examples
-
2 kilocalorie (th)/minute equals 2000 calorie (th)/minute
-
0.5 kilocalorie (th)/minute converts to 500 calorie (th)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing fine-scale power values in physiology and metabolic rate studies
-
Reporting heat release rates during laboratory calorimetry experiments
-
Characterizing energy transfer in food heating and product testing
-
Measuring heat output of small burners, grills, or laboratory heaters
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the thermochemical calorie basis when converting units
-
Use this conversion for applications requiring detailed power measurement granularity
-
Be cautious converting between non-SI calories and SI units like watts
-
Ensure consistent time measurement (per minute) for accurate conversions
Limitations
-
Both units are non-SI and specific to thermochemical calories
-
Conversion precision depends on exact unit definitions and consistent timing
-
Not suitable for large-scale industrial measurements needing standard SI units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor from kilocalorie (th)/minute to calorie (th)/minute?
-
1 kilocalorie (th)/minute equals 1000 calorie (th)/minute.
-
In which fields is this conversion commonly applied?
-
This conversion is often used in physiology for metabolic power, laboratory calorimetry, food science heating tests, and measuring heat outputs of small burners or grills.

Are these units part of the SI system?
-
No, both kilocalorie (th)/minute and calorie (th)/minute are non-SI units based on thermochemical calories.
Key Terminology
-
Kilocalorie (th)/minute
-
A unit of power indicating the rate of thermal energy transfer equivalent to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.
-
Calorie (th)/minute
-
A unit of power equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, representing a rate of heat or energy transfer.
-
Power
-
The rate of energy transfer or conversion per unit time.
