Formula
Formula
kgf·m/s = kcal/hr × 0.118593
Multiply any value in kilocalories per hour by 0.118593 to obtain the value in kilograms-force metre per second.
Worked example
Convert 10000 kcal/hr to kgf·m/s.
- 01Start with 10000 kcal/hr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.118593 = 1185.93 kgf·m/s.
Result10000 kcal/hr = 1185.93 kgf·m/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kcal/hr to kgf·m/s?
1 kcal/hr equals 0.118593 kgf·m/s. To convert, multiply the value in kilocalories per hour by 0.118593.
How do I convert 1 kcal/hr to kgf·m/s?
1 kcal/hr = 0.118593 kgf·m/s. For any value, multiply by 0.118593.
How do I convert kgf·m/s back to kcal/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 8.432201. So 1 kgf·m/s = 8.4322 kcal/hr.
When would I need to convert kilocalorie per hour 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).
