Convert kcal/(kg·°C) to Calories per Gram Degree Celsius
1 kilocalorie per kilogram degree Celsius (kcal/(kg·°C)) = 1 calorie per gram degree Celsius (cal/(g·°C)). 1 cal/(g·°C) = 1 kcal/(kg·°C). Example: 15 kcal/(kg·°C) = 15 × 1 = 15 cal/(g·°C).

How to Convert Kilocalorie per Kilogram Degree Celsius to Calorie per Gram Degree Celsius
- 1 kcal/(kg·°C) = 1 cal/(g·°C)
- 1 cal/(g·°C) = 1 kcal/(kg·°C)
- Example: convert 15 kcal/(kg·°C) to cal/(g·°C): 15 kcal/(kg·°C) = 15 × 1 cal/(g·°C) = 15 cal/(g·°C)
Reference conditions. kcal/(kg·°C): International Table calorie (4.1868 J). cal/(g·°C): International Table calorie (4.1868 J).
Formula
cal/(g·°C) = kcal/(kg·°C) × 1
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kcal_IT/(kg·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K), the same number as cal/(g·°C).
- 1 cal_IT/(g·°C) = 4.1868 J/(g·K) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K).
- 1 kcal/(kg·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K) ÷ 4186.8 J/(kg·K) per cal/(g·°C) = 1 cal/(g·°C)
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilocalorie per Kilogram Degree Celsius definition: kilocalorie per kilogram degree Celsius; Calorie per Gram Degree Celsius definition: calorie per gram degree Celsius.
Worked examples
- A reading of 0.2 kcal/(kg·°C) converts to 0.2 cal/(g·°C).
0.2 kcal/(kg·°C) × 1 = 0.2 cal/(g·°C) - A value of 0.5 kcal/(kg·°C) is 0.5 cal/(g·°C).
0.5 kcal/(kg·°C) × 1 = 0.5 cal/(g·°C)
