The other category, the large Calorie (with upper case letter ‘C’) also kilogram calorie (indicated with symbols: Cal, kcal) is expressed in terms of the kilogram, not the gram and so the definition is similar – the energy required at a pressure of one atmosphere to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
