Convert Joule per kilogram degree Celsius to Joule per kilogram kelvin
Convert Joule per kilogram degree Celsius (J/(kg·°C)) to Joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
J/(kg·K) = J/(kg·°C) × 1
About Joule per kilogram degree Celsius
The joule per kilogram degree Celsius (J/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 1 J/(kg·K) since temperature intervals 1 °C = 1 K. Widely used in building physics, HVAC, and thermodynamics textbooks where Celsius is the standard temperature scale. Material property tables in ISO and EN standards frequently list specific heat in J/(kg·°C). 1 J/(kg·°C) = 1 J/(kg·K).
About Joule per kilogram kelvin
The joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg·K)) is the SI coherent unit for specific heat capacity, defined by the relation Q = mcΔT. Water ≈4182, iron ≈449, aluminium ≈897, copper ≈385, glass ≈840 J/(kg·K). Referenced in ISO 31-4 and all major international standards. 1 J/(kg·K) = 1 J/(kg·°C) = 10⁻³ kJ/(kg·K).
