Specific Heat Capacity converter

J/(kg·K), kJ/(kg·K), cal/(g·°C) and BTU/(lb·°F).

Specific heat capacity is the energy needed to warm one unit of mass by one degree. Water sits at about 4.186 kJ/(kg·K), which is exactly why the calorie and the BTU were defined the way they were: 1 cal/(g·°C) equals 1 BTU/(lb·°F).

Result
0.2388458966

1 kJ/(kg·K) = 0.2388458966 BTU/(lb·°F)

Multiply the number of kilojoules per kilogram kelvin by 0.238845896627.

Results are rounded for display. Double-check values for critical work.
