Convert calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min], or Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 60 kcal/min. To convert calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute, multiply the value by 60; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal/min = 0.0166666666667 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 = 60 kcal/min
- 1 kcal/min = 0.0166666666667 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 600 kcal/min
- 100 cal/s = 6000 kcal/min
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Kilocalorie (It)/minute
1 cal/s = 60 kcal/min
Example: convert 15 cal/s to kcal/min:
15 cal/s = 15 × 60 kcal/min = 900 kcal/min

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)/minute
A unit of power representing the energy expended or transferred at a rate of one kilocalorie per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (kcal) has historically been used to measure energy in food and nutrition, while the minute as a time unit has been standard in timekeeping. Combining these, kcal/min was used to quantify power, especially in contexts like metabolic rates and energy expenditure, before the widespread adoption of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
The kcal/min is primarily used in fields such as physiology and sports science to express rates of energy expenditure, though it is less common today with the adoption of the watt (W) as the standard SI unit of power.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (IT)/second in kilocalorie (IT)/minute?
1 calorie (IT)/second (cal/s) = 60 kilocalorie (IT)/minute (kcal/min).
How do you convert calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?
Multiply the calorie (IT)/second value by 60. For example, 25 cal/s × 60 = 1500 kcal/min.
