Browser-based and easy to use with intuitive input for values and units.

Examples

1 cal (th)/g/°C converts to 0.9993312315 cal (IT)/g/°C.
5 cal (th)/g/°C converts to 4.9966561575 cal (IT)/g/°C.

Common Use Cases

Adjusting calorimetry experiment results involving water and other substances.
Converting specific heat data in historical or legacy thermodynamic tables.
Ensuring consistent heat capacity data in food science and engineering contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the calorie standard used in your data to avoid inconsistencies.
Consider that temperature increments of 1 °C equal 1 K for these calculations.
Use the converter when integrating or comparing data from different sources.

Limitations

The conversion factor is very close to one, so changes are subtle but critical for precision.
Ensure consistent interpretation of temperature units as °C or K to maintain accuracy.
Awareness of the calorie type is necessary to prevent errors in energy or heat capacity values.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the conversion factor between calorie (th) and calorie (IT) close to one?: Because both units measure heat capacity based on calories defined slightly differently, resulting in a conversion rate very near unity.

Key Terminology

Calorie (thermochemical): A unit of specific heat capacity representing heat required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C based on the thermochemical calorie standard.
Calorie (International Table): A unit of specific heat capacity based on the International Table calorie standard, used to quantify heat capacity per gram per degree Celsius.
Specific Heat Capacity: The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
