Convert calorie (th) to nanojoule
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th) [cal (th)] to nanojoule [nJ], or Convert nanojoule to calorie (th).
1 cal (th) = 4184000000 nJ. To convert calorie (th) to nanojoule, multiply the value by 4184000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nJ = 2.3901e-10 cal (th)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal (th) = 4184000000 nJ
- 1 nJ = 2.3901e-10 cal (th)
- 10 cal (th) = 41840000000 nJ
- 100 cal (th) = 418400000000 nJ
How to Convert Calorie (Th) to Nanojoule
1 cal (th) = 4184000000 nJ
Example: convert 15 cal (th) to nJ:
15 cal (th) = 15 × 4184000000 nJ = 62760000000 nJ

Calorie (Th)
The calorie (th) is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie (th) was historically used in the context of thermochemistry and nutrition, originating from the calorie concept in the 19th century. It has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts but remains in common use in some regions and fields.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th) is primarily used in nutrition labeling and food energy measurements, especially in regions where the thermochemical calorie is still recognized, although the joule is the SI standard.
Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
