Formula

Formula
kgf·m/s = cal/s × 0.4266493

Multiply any value in calories per second by 0.4266493 to obtain the value in kilograms-force metre per second.

Worked example

Convert 10 cal/s to kgf·m/s.

  1. 01Start with 10 cal/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.4266493 = 4.26649 kgf·m/s.
Result10 cal/s = 4.26649 kgf·m/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cal/s to kgf·m/s?
1 cal/s equals 0.4266493 kgf·m/s. To convert, multiply the value in calories per second by 0.4266493.
How do I convert 1 cal/s to kgf·m/s?
1 cal/s = 0.426649 kgf·m/s. For any value, multiply by 0.4266493.
How do I convert kgf·m/s back to cal/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.343846. So 1 kgf·m/s = 2.34385 cal/s.
When would I need to convert calorie per second to kilogram-force metre per second?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
