About Thermochemical kilocalorie per cubic metre
The thermochemical kilocalorie per cubic metre (kcal(th)/m³) equals exactly 4184 J/m³ (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J). Used in older continental European and Russian engineering references for volumetric heating values of gases and process heat. 1 kcal(th)/m³ = 4184 J/m³ ≈ 1.162 Wh/m³.
About Joule per cubic metre
The joule per cubic metre (J/m³) is the SI coherent unit for energy density (and equivalently, pressure). It covers a wide range from gas combustion (natural gas ~38 MJ/m³) down to small reaction energies. Numerically equal to the pascal (Pa = N/m² = J/m³). Referenced in ISO 31-4. 1 J/m³ = 10⁻³ kJ/m³ = 1 Pa.
