Convert Joule per kilogram degree Celsius to Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius
Convert Joule per kilogram degree Celsius (J/(kg·°C)) to Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kJ/(kg·°C) = J/(kg·°C) × 0.001
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 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).
