Looking for kiloJoules to kiloCalories converter?

Simple unit conversion tool that helps you to convert kiloCalories to kiloJoules.

What you should know about kiloCalories and kiloJoules

How many kiloJoules are in one kiloCalorie?

Thermochemical kiloCalories
1 kcalth = 4.184 kJ
International kiloCalories
1 kcalIT = 4.1868 kJ
15ºC kiloCalories
1 kcal15 = 4.1855 kJ
20ºC kiloCalories
1 kcal20 = 4.182 kJ

How many kiloCalories are in one kiloJoule?

Thermochemical Calories
1 kJ = 0.23900573614 kcalth
International calories
1 kJ = 0.23884589663 kcalIT
15ºC calories
1 kJ = 0.23892008123 kcal15
20ºC calories
1 kJ =0.23912003826 kcal20

Conversion Example:

If we want to convert 0.5 kiloCalories in kiloJoules, then we will proceed as following:
Kilojoules to Thermochemical Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcalth) × 4.184 = 8 × 4.184 = 2.092 kJ
Kilojoules to International Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcalIT) × 4.1868 = 8 × 4.1868 = 2.0934 kJ
Kilojoules to 15ºC Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcal15) × 4.1855 = 8 × 4.1855 = 2.09275 kJ
Kilojoules to 20ºC Kilocalories
E(kJ) = E(kcal20) × 4.182 = 8 × 4.182 = 2.091 kJ

Definition of kiloCalorie provided by Oxford Dictionaries

A unit of energy of 1,000 calories (equal to 1 large calorie).

Definition of kiloCalorie provided by Vocabulary.com

a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree at one atmosphere pressure; used by nutritionists to characterize the energy-producing potential in food

Definition of kiloJoule provided by Cambridge Dictionary

a unit of measurement equal to 1,000 joules (= measure of energy or work done)

kiloCalories and kiloJoules are two energy units. Kilocalories and Kilojoules units are used in various fields of activity such as physics, chemistry and other industries. This calculator is useful both for those who’s working in these fields of activity but also for students who study energies as Kilocalories and Kilojoules at school.
Our Kilocalories to Kilojoules converter is especially designed to make your calculations fast. You just need to enter Kilocalories value on the first box and the converter will do the rest for you and automatically convert Kilocalories to Kilojoules.
Also you have formula for converting Kilocalories to Kilojoules if you need that in your calculations, but we recommend you to use the Kilocalories to Kilojoules converter because is very fast and accurate for simple conversions.
