How to convert from kJ to Cal

Things to consider when choosing a calorie unit type:

  • Small calorie (cal) is the energy required to raise 1 gram of water by 1°C at 1 atmosphere of pressure.
  • Large calorie (Cal) is the energy required to raise 1 kg of water at 1 atmosphere pressure by 1°C.
  • Large calorie is also called food calorie and is used as a unit of food energy.

Kilojoules to thermochemical calories

1 calth = 0.004184 kJ

1 kJ = 239.0057 calth

Kilojoules – 15 ° C calories

1 cal15 = 0.0041855 kJ

1 kJ = 238.9201 cal15

Greater than kilojoules / to food calories

1 Cal = 4.184 kJ

1 kJ = 0.239 Cal

KJ Cal conversion formula

The energy in a thermochemical calorie E(calth) is equal to the energy in kilojoules E(kJ) times 239.0057:

E(cal) = E(kJ) × 239.0057

Energy in calories E(cal15) at 15 °C equals energy in kilojoules E(kJ) times 238.9201:

E(cal15) = E(kJ) × 238.9201

Energy in large/food calories E(Cal) equals energy in kilojoules E(kJ) times 0.239:

E(Cal) = E(kJ) × 0.239

Example

Converting 0.6 kilojoules to thermochemical calories:

E(cal) = 0.6kJ × 239.0057 = 143.4 calth

Converting 0.6 kilojoules to 15°C calories:

E(cal15) = 0.6kJ × 238.9201 = 143.352 cal15

Converting 0.6 kilojoules to food calories:

E(Cal) = 0.6kJ × 0.239 = 0.1434 Cal
