Kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius is a unit of measurement for specific heat capacity. A material is known to have heat capacity of 1 kcal/kg·°C if heat energy of one kilocalorie is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of that material by one degree Celsius. The symbol for Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Celsius is kcal/kg·°C.
Use this Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Celsius converter to change values into other specific heat units. Enter a value, choose the target unit, and review the converted result without applying the conversion factor by hand.
It is useful when a measurement is recorded in Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Celsius but a formula, specification, or comparison requires another specific heat unit. The available target units are listed below the example and conversion table.
Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Celsius is one of the units available in this specific heat category. Use the result as a reference, and retain suitable precision when the value will be used in a technical or scientific calculation.
The calculator formats results for readability. Display rounding can affect the last digits, so check the original input and the shown precision before copying a result into a report or further formula.
