megajoule per kilogram kelvin to joule per kilogram kelvin
Convert megajoule per kilogram kelvin (MJ/(kg·K)) to joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg·K)). Use an editable specific heat capacity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 MJ/(kg·K) = 1,000,000 J/(kg·K)
Conversion formula
One megajoule per kilogram kelvin equals 1,000,000 joule per kilogram kelvin. Multiply your value in megajoule per kilogram kelvin by this factor to get joule per kilogram kelvin. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 megajoule per kilogram kelvin:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 J/(kg·K)

About these measurements
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the joule per kilogram kelvin. One megajoule per kilogram kelvin is 1,000,000 base units; one joule per kilogram kelvin is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert MJ/(kg·K) to J/(kg·K)?
Multiply the quantity in MJ/(kg·K) by 1,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the joule per kilogram kelvin to megajoule per kilogram kelvin converter.
