Specific Heat Capacity Converter

Convert specific heat capacity units such as J/(kg*K), kJ/(kg*C), calorie-based units, Btu/lb/F, and CHU/lb/C.

About this converter

Specific heat capacity describes how much energy is needed to change the temperature of a unit mass. It covers SI, metric, calorie, customary Btu, and legacy heat-unit forms.

The base unit for this converter is joule-per-kilogram-kelvin, which lets us map each unit into one consistent formula layer before converting to the target unit.
