This converter allows you to convert kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] to kilojoules per second [kJ/s] or kilojoules per second [kJ/s] to kilocalories per hour [kcal/h]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 kilocalorie per hour [kcal/h] ≈ 0.0012 kilojoules per second [kJ/s]1 kilojoule per second [kJ/s] ≈ 859.8452 kilocalories per hour [kcal/h]

Convert kilocalories per hour to kilojoules per second

There are two simple ways to convert kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] to kilojoules per second [kJ/s]. In the first calculation method, the value in kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 859.8452. The second method multiplies the value in kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] by the rounded conversion factor of 0.0012.

  • Kilojoules per second [kJ/s] ≈ kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] ÷ 859.8452
  • Kilojoules per second [kJ/s] ≈ kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] * 0.0012

However, rounded conversion values are only suitable for rough conversions, as rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] to kilojoules per second [kJ/s] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Kilojoules per second [kJ/s] = kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] ÷ 3,600 * 4.1868

Convert kilojoules per second to kilocalories per hour

Converting kilojoules per second [kJ/s] to kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in kilojoules per second [kJ/s] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 859.8452. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in kilojoules per second [kJ/s] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 0.0012.

  • Kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] ≈ kilojoules per second [kJ/s] * 859.8452
  • Kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] ≈ kilojoules per second [kJ/s] ÷ 0.0012

However, rounded conversion values do not allow for exact calculations because rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of kilojoules per second [kJ/s] to kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Kilocalories per hour [kcal/h] = kilojoules per second [kJ/s] * 3,600 ÷ 4.1868
