How to convert joules per kilogram kelvin to kilojoules per kilogram kelvin
kJ/(kg⋅K) = J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001Multiply the value in joules per kilogram kelvin by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A joule per kilogram kelvin is smaller than a kilojoule per kilogram kelvin: it takes 1,000 joules per kilogram kelvin to make one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin.
Worked examples
- 1 joule per kilogram kelvin1 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.001 kJ/(kg⋅K)
- 5 joules per kilogram kelvin5 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.005 kJ/(kg⋅K)
- 10 joules per kilogram kelvin10 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.01 kJ/(kg⋅K)
- 20 joules per kilogram kelvin20 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.02 kJ/(kg⋅K)
- 100 joules per kilogram kelvin100 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.1 kJ/(kg⋅K)

About the units
Joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K))
The joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)) is a unit of specific heat capacity in the International System of Units (SI).
Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K))
The kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K)) is a unit of specific heat capacity in the International System of Units (SI). One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 1,000 joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)).
Frequently asked questions
How many kilojoules per kilogram kelvin are in one joule per kilogram kelvin?
There are 0.001 kilojoules per kilogram kelvin in one joule per kilogram kelvin, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert joules per kilogram kelvin to kilojoules per kilogram kelvin?
Multiply the number of joules per kilogram kelvin by 0.001. For example, 10 J/(kg⋅K) × 0.001 = 0.01 kJ/(kg⋅K).
How many joules per kilogram kelvin are in one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin?
One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 1,000 joules per kilogram kelvin. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 joules per kilogram kelvin in kilojoules per kilogram kelvin?
10 J/(kg⋅K) = 0.01 kJ/(kg⋅K).
Is this J/(kg⋅K) to kJ/(kg⋅K) converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
