Convert kilocalorie (IT) to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to kilocalorie (IT).
1 kcal (IT) = 4.1868 kW*s. To convert kilocalorie (IT) to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 4.1868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 0.238845896627 kcal (IT)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kcal (IT) = 4.1868 kW*s
- 1 kW*s = 0.238845896627 kcal (IT)
- 10 kcal (IT) = 41.868 kW*s
- 100 kcal (IT) = 418.68 kW*s
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It) to Kilowatt-Second
1 kcal (IT) = 4.1868 kW*s
Example: convert 15 kcal (IT) to kW*s:
15 kcal (IT) = 15 × 4.1868 kW*s = 62.802 kW*s

Kilocalorie (It)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a measure of heat energy, primarily used in nutrition and thermodynamics. It became standard in dietary contexts to quantify food energy intake.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is widely used in nutrition to express the energy content of foods and beverages, and in scientific contexts related to energy measurement in biological and physical systems.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
