Convert International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius to Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius
Convert International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(g·°C)) to Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kJ/(kg·°C) = cal(IT)/(g·°C) × 4.1868
About International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(g·°C)) equals exactly 4186.8 J/(kg·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J). Standard in steam tables, international thermodynamic references, and pre-SI calorimetry. Slightly larger than the thermochemical variant. Water: 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C) at ≈15 °C. 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K) = 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C).
About Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius
The kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1000 J/(kg·K) since 1 °C = 1 K. The preferred notation in European process and chemical engineering where Celsius dominates. Often used interchangeably with kJ/(kg·K) in material datasheets. Water: 4.182 kJ/(kg·°C). 1 kJ/(kg·°C) = 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1000 J/(kg·K).
