Conversion Formula
cal(IT)/(g·°C) = kcal(th)/(kg·°C) × 0.9993312315
About Thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
The thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(th)/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J = 1000 cal(th)). Used in older continental European and Soviet-era engineering tables as the practical metric unit. Water ≈1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C); iron ≈0.107 kcal(th)/(kg·°C). 1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C) = 4184 J/(kg·K) = 1 cal(th)/(g·°C).
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).
