Convert calorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (th)/second
Enter a value below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 1 kcal(th)/s. To convert calorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/s = 1 cal(th)/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Calorie (Th)/second to Kilocalorie (Th)/second: Quick Reference
- 1 cal(th)/s = 1 kcal(th)/s
- 1 kcal(th)/s = 1 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 10 kcal(th)/s
- 100 cal(th)/s = 100 kcal(th)/s
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Kilocalorie (Th)/second
1 cal(th)/s = 1 kcal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 cal(th)/s to kcal(th)/s:
15 cal(th)/s = 15 × 1 kcal(th)/s = 15 kcal(th)/s

Calorie (Th)/second: Definition and Use
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Kilocalorie (Th)/second: Definition and Use
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
Calorie (Th)/second to Kilocalorie (Th)/second: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (th)/second in kilocalorie (th)/second?
1 calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) = 1 kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s).
How do you convert calorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (th)/second?
Multiply the calorie (th)/second value by 1. For example, 25 cal(th)/s × 1 = 25 kcal(th)/s.
What is 10 calorie (th)/second in kilocalorie (th)/second?
10 cal(th)/s = 10 kcal(th)/s.
Which unit is larger, the calorie (th)/second or the kilocalorie (th)/second?
The kilocalorie (th)/second is the larger unit: 1 cal(th)/s equals only 1 kcal(th)/s.
