How to Convert Kilocalorie/Kilogram-°C to BTU/Pound-°F

To convert from Kilocalorie/Kilogram-°C (kcal/(kg·°C)) to BTU/Pound-°F (BTU/(lb·°F)), multiply the value by 0.9993312315.

Formula: BTU/(lb·°F) = kcal/(kg·°C) × 0.9993312315

Reverse: kcal/(kg·°C) = BTU/(lb·°F) × 1.0006692161

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilocalorie/Kilogram-°C. For example: 5 kcal/(kg·°C)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 0.9993312315
The result is: 4.996656 BTU/(lb·°F)
