| Unit | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| J/(kg·K) | Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) | 4186.8 |
| kJ/(kg·K) | Kilojoule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) | 4.1868 |

To convert Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C) to Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin), multiply by 4186.8. Example: 10 kcal/(kg·°C) = 41868 J/(kg·K)
To convert Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) back to Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C), divide by 4186.8 (multiply by 0.000238846). Use the swap button above.
Start with 100 Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C)s = 418680 J/(kg·K) as your reference point. Scale up or down from there.
The Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C) is a unit of Specific Heat measurement (symbol: kcal/(kg·°C)). 1 kcal/(kg·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K). Used in scientific and practical Specific Heat measurement applications.
The Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) is a unit of Specific Heat measurement (symbol: J/(kg·K)). It is part of an internationally recognised measurement system used alongside the Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C).
Both the Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C) and Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) developed through the standardisation of Specific Heat measurement. Converting between them is a common requirement in science, engineering, and everyday applications where different measurement systems are used.
Common use: Kilocalorie/(Kilogram·°C) to Joule/(Kilogram·Kelvin) conversion is needed when working with international standards, scientific publications, or reference materials that use different unit systems for Specific Heat measurement.
