7 units · base unit J/(kg·K) · L² T⁻² Θ⁻¹
Specific heat capacity converter
A happy accident of history: cal/(g·°C) and BTU/(lb·°F) are numerically identical, because both were defined by heating water.
0.001kJ/(kg·K)
As a fraction: 1/1000
1 J/(kg·K) = 0.001 kJ/(kg·K)
Common specific heat capacity conversions
- J/(kg·K) → kJ/(kg·K)

- J/(kg·K) → BTU/(lb·°F)
- kJ/(kg·K) → J/(kg·K)
- kJ/(kg·K) → cal/(g·°C)
- kJ/(kg·K) → BTU/(lb·°F)
- cal/(g·°C) → J/(kg·K)
- cal/(g·°C) → kJ/(kg·K)
- cal/(g·°C) → BTU/(lb·°F)
- BTU/(lb·°F) → J/(kg·K)
- BTU/(lb·°F) → kJ/(kg·K)

About specific heat capacity units
Convert J/(kg·K), kJ/(kg·K), cal/(g·°C) and BTU/(lb·°F).
A happy accident of history: cal/(g·°C) and BTU/(lb·°F) are numerically identical, because both were defined by heating water.
Dimensional formula: L² T⁻² Θ⁻¹. Every conversion on this page goes through the joule per kilogram kelvin, using exact fractions rather than decimal approximations. Read how that works →
