Convert Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit to International table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
Convert Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU(th)/(lb·°F)) to International table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(kg·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kcal(IT)/(kg·°C) = BTU(th)/(lb·°F) × 0.9993312315
About Thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit
The thermochemical BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU(th)/(lb·°F)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (derived: 1 BTU(th) = 1054.350264 J; /lb/°F). Numerically identical to cal(th)/(g·°C) because both are defined via the thermochemical calorie. Used in older American thermodynamic tables. Water ≈1 BTU(th)/(lb·°F). 1 BTU(th)/(lb·°F) = 4184 J/(kg·K).
About International table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 4186.8 J/(kg·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The common practical unit in European industry and the 'large calorie' of nutrition science. Water: 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C); ethanol: 0.588 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C). 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K) = 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C).
