How to convert Thermochemical calories per gram Celsius degree to Btu IT per pound Fahrenheit degree
Use the same thermodynamic convention before comparing values: constant-pressure and constant-volume heat capacities can differ. Temperature factors here are intervals, without offsets.
Use x for the value in cal/(g·°C), b for the intermediate value in J/(kg·K), and y for the result in Btu IT/(lb·°F).
Btu IT/(lb·°F) = cal/(g·°C) × 4184 ÷ 4186.799999999999
Worked examples
10 cal/(g·°C) ≈ 9.99331231489 Btu IT/(lb·°F)
Step 1: (10 × 4184) ≈ 41840 J/(kg·K).
Step 2: 41840 ÷ 4186.8 ≈ 9.99331231489 Btu IT/(lb·°F).20 cal/(g·°C) ≈ 19.9866246298 Btu IT/(lb·°F)
Step 1: (20 × 4184) ≈ 83680 J/(kg·K).
Step 2: 83680 ÷ 4186.8 ≈ 19.9866246298 Btu IT/(lb·°F).
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Thermochemical calories per gram Celsius degree
Thermochemical calories per gram Celsius degree (cal/(g·°C)) measures specific heat capacity under the conventions above. The base value in J/(kg·K) is (x × 4184), where x is the numerical value in cal/(g·°C). Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
