All specific heat conversions use J/(kg·K) as the base unit.
Key conversions:
- 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1,000 J/(kg·K)
- 1 cal/(g·°C) = 4,186.8 J/(kg·K)
- 1 BTU/(lb·°F) = 4,186.8 J/(kg·K)
Note: cal/(g·°C) and BTU/(lb·°F) have the same conversion factor to J/(kg·K).
Common references:
- Water: 4,186.8 J/(kg·K) (1 cal/(g·°C))
- Aluminum: about 900 J/(kg·K)
- Iron: about 450 J/(kg·K)
- Copper: about 385 J/(kg·K)
