J/(g·K)

joule per gram-kelvin

Specific heat capacityexact by definition

The joule per gram-kelvin is 1000 J/(kg·K) exactly and is numerically the same as kJ/(kg·K). Materials science and calorimetry data are usually published in this form because sample masses are in grams; a differential scanning calorimeter reports J/(g·K) directly.
