How to Convert Erg/Second to Calorie/Hour

To convert from Erg/Second (erg/s) to Calorie/Hour (cal/h), multiply the value by 8.604207e-5.

Formula: cal/h = erg/s × 0.0000860421

Reverse: erg/s = cal/h × 11,622.22222

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Erg/Second. For example: 5 erg/s
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 8.604207e-5
The result is: 0.00043 cal/h

About Erg/Second

The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power. One erg/second equals 1.000000 × 10^-7 watts. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other power unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: power calculations, engineering and science, education.

About Calorie/Hour

The calorie/hour (cal/h) is a unit of power. One calorie/hour equals 0.001162222222 watts. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other power unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: power calculations, engineering and science, education.
