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

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute in calorie (IT)/hour?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute (kcal/min) = 60 calorie (IT)/hour (cal/h).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to calorie (IT)/hour?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/minute value by 60. For example, 25 kcal/min × 60 = 1500 cal/h.
What is 10 kilocalorie (IT)/minute in calorie (IT)/hour?
10 kcal/min = 600 cal/h.
Which unit is larger, the kilocalorie (IT)/minute or the calorie (IT)/hour?
The kilocalorie (IT)/minute is the larger unit: 1 kcal/min = 60 cal/h.
