Convert calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h], or Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 3600 kcal/h. To convert calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour, multiply the value by 3600; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal/h = 0.000277777777778 cal/s). 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/s = 3600 kcal/h
- 1 kcal/h = 0.000277777777778 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 36000 kcal/h
- 100 cal/s = 360000 kcal/h
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Kilocalorie (It)/hour
1 cal/s = 3600 kcal/h
Example: convert 15 cal/s to kcal/h:
15 cal/s = 15 × 3600 kcal/h = 54000 kcal/h

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/second in kilocalorie (IT)/hour?
1 calorie (IT)/second (cal/s) = 3600 kilocalorie (IT)/hour (kcal/h).
