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).
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).
