Quick explanation
Enter a positive or zero specific heat capacity, then choose the source and target units.
Temperature intervals in K and °C have the same size for this type of conversion.

Convert energy
For joules, calories and kWh, use the energy converter.
Additional information
What is specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity indicates the energy needed to raise the temperature of a given mass by one temperature unit.
Kelvin and degree Celsius
For a temperature interval, 1 K equals 1 °C. Units such as J/(kg·K) and cal/(g·°C) therefore convert directly.
Common uses
This converter can help with physics, thermal calculations, materials and energy estimates.
Local calculation
The calculation is performed in your browser.
