What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert power values measured in kilojoule per hour to kilojoule per minute, facilitating the analysis of energy transfer rates across different time scales.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) you want to convert.
-
Select kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) as your target unit.
-
Click convert to see the result based on the conversion rate 1 kJ/h = 0.0166666667 kJ/min.
Key Features
-
Converts power units from kJ/h to kJ/min accurately using a fixed conversion rate.
-
Supports applications in building physics, exercise physiology, and laboratory calorimetry.
-
Helps switch between hourly and minute-based energy rate measurements effortlessly.
Examples
-
10 kJ/h converts to 0.166666667 kJ/min by multiplying 10 × 0.0166666667.
-
50 kJ/h converts to 0.833333335 kJ/min by multiplying 50 × 0.0166666667.
Common Use Cases
-
Analyzing small heating or cooling rates in building physics over different time periods.
-
Monitoring metabolic energy expenditure per minute in exercise physiology.
-
Conducting heat-transfer experiments in laboratory calorimetry with finer time resolution.
-
Measuring power consumption in small appliances using minute-based units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you use precise values when converting due to small decimal results.
-
Understand the context of your measurement to choose the appropriate unit for energy rate reporting.
-
Use steady-state data for conversions to maintain accuracy.
Limitations
-
Suitable mainly for low-rate or long-term energy transfer; small decimal results may need sensitive instruments.
-
Assumes steady, uniform power output, so fluctuating energy rates may affect conversion accuracy.

Key Terminology
-
Kilojoule/hour [kJ/h]
-
A unit of power measuring energy transfer of 1,000 joules delivered or consumed each hour, used for low-rate or hourly energy transfer.
-
Kilojoule/minute [kJ/min]
-
A power unit representing energy transfer of 1,000 joules each minute, applied in contexts requiring minute-level measurement.
