Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 69780 mW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to milliwatt, multiply the value by 69780; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 1.43307537976e-05 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 = 69780 mW
- 1 mW = 1.43307537976e-05 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 697800 mW
- 100 kcal/min = 6978000 mW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Milliwatt
1 kcal/min = 69780 mW
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to mW:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 69780 mW = 1046700 mW

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.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
