Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to watt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to watt [W], or Convert watt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 1.163 W. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to watt, multiply the value by 1.163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 0.859845227859 kcal/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 kcal/h = 1.163 W
- 1 W = 0.859845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 11.63 W
- 100 kcal/h = 116.3 W
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Watt
1 kcal/h = 1.163 W
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to W:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163 W = 17.445 W

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.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
