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

Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/second in kilocalorie (IT)/minute?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/second (kcal/s) = 60 kilocalorie (IT)/minute (kcal/min).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT)/second value by 60. For example, 25 kcal/s × 60 = 1500 kcal/min.
