Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 6.9780e+13 pW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to picowatt, multiply the value by 6.9780e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 1.4331e-14 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 = 6.9780e+13 pW
- 1 pW = 1.4331e-14 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 6.9780e+14 pW
- 100 kcal/min = 6.9780e+15 pW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Picowatt
1 kcal/min = 69780000000000 pW
Example: convert 15 kcal/min to pW:
15 kcal/min = 15 × 69780000000000 pW = 1.0467e+15 pW

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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
