Formula
kcal/hr = kgf·m/s × 8.432201
Multiply any value in kilograms-force metre per second by 8.432201 to obtain the value in kilocalories per hour.
Worked example
Convert 100 kgf·m/s to kcal/hr.
- 01Start with 100 kgf·m/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 8.432201 = 843.22 kcal/hr.
Result100 kgf·m/s = 843.22 kcal/hr

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