Convert calorie (IT)/hour to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 11630000 erg/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to erg/second, multiply the value by 11630000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 8.59845227859e-08 cal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/h = 11630000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 8.59845227859e-08 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 116300000 erg/s
- 100 cal/h = 1163000000 erg/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Erg/second

Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
