Energy Converter accuracy and testing
This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.
Formula source
- All units are converted to Joules (the SI unit) first. * **1 Calorie (cal)** = 4.184 Joules * **1 Food Calorie (kcal)** = 4,184 Joules * **1 kWh** = 3,600,000 Joules
Test cases
Default input regression check
Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.
Inputs
- Energy Amount: 100
- From: Kilocalorie (kcal)
- To: Kilojoule (kJ)
Expected outputs
- Converted Value: 418.4
- Logic: 1 kcal ≈ 4.184 kj
Known limitations
- This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
- Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.
Assumptions
- All supported units are converted through joules using standard accepted energy factors.
- Nutrition-style Calories are represented as kilocalories, while lowercase calories represent the smaller physics unit.
- The tool converts totals only and does not estimate energy production, losses, or efficiency.
Unit handling
- Energy Amount accepts numeric values.
- From accepts one of the configured options.
- To accepts one of the configured options.
Rounding rules
- Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
