Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 697.8 dW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to deciwatt, multiply the value by 697.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.00143307537976 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 = 697.8 dW
- 1 dW = 0.00143307537976 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 6978 dW
- 100 kcal/min = 69780 dW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Deciwatt
1 kcal/min = 697.8 dW
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to dW:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 697.8 dW = 10467 dW

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.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
