Convert kiloton to kilocalorie (th)
Please provide values below to convert kiloton [kton] to kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)], or Convert kilocalorie (th) to kiloton.
1 kton = 1000000000 kcal (th). To convert kiloton to kilocalorie (th), multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal (th) = 1e-09 kton). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kton = 1000000000 kcal (th)
- 1 kcal (th) = 1e-09 kton
- 10 kton = 10000000000 kcal (th)
- 100 kton = 100000000000 kcal (th)
How to Convert Kiloton to Kilocalorie (Th)
1 kton = 1000000000 kcal (th)
Example: convert 15 kton to kcal (th):
15 kton = 15 × 1000000000 kcal (th) = 15000000000 kcal (th)

Kiloton
A kiloton (kton) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The term 'kiloton' has been used historically to measure large quantities of mass, especially in contexts like military explosives and nuclear weapon yields, where it signifies the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT.
Current Use
Today, kilotons are primarily used to quantify the explosive power of nuclear weapons and large-scale energy measurements, as well as in some industrial and scientific applications involving large masses.
Kilocalorie (Th)
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 unit to quantify heat energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics. It was widely adopted in the early 20th century for dietary energy measurement.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is primarily used in nutrition to express the energy content of food and drinks, although it is often simply called a 'calorie' in everyday language.
