Convert calorie (IT)/hour to hectojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to hectojoule/second [hJ/s], or Convert hectojoule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.01163 hJ/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to hectojoule/second, multiply the value by 0.01163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hJ/s = 85.9845227859 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 = 0.01163 hJ/s
- 1 hJ/s = 85.9845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 0.1163 hJ/s
- 100 cal/h = 1.163 hJ/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Hectojoule/second
1 cal/h = 0.01163 hJ/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to hJ/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 0.01163 hJ/s = 0.17445 hJ/s

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.
Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/hour in hectojoule/second?
1 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h) = 0.01163 hectojoule/second (hJ/s).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/hour to hectojoule/second?
Multiply the calorie (IT)/hour value by 0.01163. For example, 25 cal/h × 0.01163 = 0.29075 hJ/s.
