Convert International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius to Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius
Convert International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C)) to Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius (kcal/(cm·h·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kcal/(cm·h·°C) = cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) × 3.6
About International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius
The cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) equals exactly 4.1868/0.01 = 418.68 W/(m·K) (1 international table calorie = 4.1868 J). Used in pre-SI thermodynamics, steam tables, and international heat transfer references. Copper: ≈0.920 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C). Slightly larger than cal(th)/(cm·s·°C). 1 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) = 418.68 W/(m·K).
About Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius
The kcal/(cm·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/36 W/(m·K) = 116.3 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm = 0.01 m). Used in older CGS-metric European and Soviet literature for metallic heat transfer. Steel: ≈0.137; copper: ≈3.31 kcal/(cm·h·°C). 1 kcal/(cm·h·°C) = 116.3 W/(m·K) = 100 × kcal/(m·h·°C).
