Kilojoules to Kilocalories Calculator
Kilojoules to Kilocalories Calculator: This Kilojoules to Kilocalories Calculator allows you to convert energy values from kilojoules (kJ) to different types of kilocalories (kcal). Use this tool to quickly determine the equivalent energy value in kilocalories for various calorie types. This is useful for nutritional calculations and scientific purposes.
Formula:
Kilojoules to thermochemical/food kilocalories: E(kcal-th) = E(kJ) / 4.184
Kilojoules to international kilocalories: E(kcal-IT) = E(kJ) / 4.1868
Kilojoules to 15°C kilocalories: E(kcal15) = E(kJ) / 4.1855
Kilojoules to 20°C kilocalories: E(kcal20) = E(kJ) / 4.182
How to use:
1. Enter the energy value in kilojoules.
2. Select the kilocalorie type you want to convert to.
3. Click "Convert" to get the result in kilocalories.
4. The result will be displayed in a table format below.
5. Click "Clear" to reset the form.
