Convert calorie (IT)/hour to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1.163 J/s. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to joule/second, multiply the value by 1.163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.859845227859 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 = 1.163 J/s
- 1 J/s = 0.859845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 11.63 J/s
- 100 cal/h = 116.3 J/s
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Joule/second
1 cal/h = 1.163 J/s
Example: convert 15 cal/h to J/s:
15 cal/h = 15 × 1.163 J/s = 17.445 J/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.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
