Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (IT)/hour
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h], or Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 60 kcal/h. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (IT)/hour, multiply the value by 60; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal/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 kcal/h
- 1 kcal/h = 0.0166666666667 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 600 kcal/h
- 100 kcal/min = 6000 kcal/h
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Kilocalorie (It)/hour
1 kcal/min = 60 kcal/h
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to kcal/h:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 60 kcal/h = 900 kcal/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.
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 kilocalorie (IT)/minute in kilocalorie (IT)/hour?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute (kcal/min) = 60 kilocalorie (IT)/hour (kcal/h).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (IT)/hour?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/minute value by 60. For example, 25 kcal/min × 60 = 1500 kcal/h.
What is 10 kilocalorie (IT)/minute in kilocalorie (IT)/hour?
10 kcal/min = 600 kcal/h.
Which unit is larger, the kilocalorie (IT)/minute or the kilocalorie (IT)/hour?
The kilocalorie (IT)/minute is the larger unit: 1 kcal/min = 60 kcal/h.
