Why convert from calorie (IT)/hour/cm² to calorie (IT)/second/cm²?

Converting to calorie (IT)/second/cm² allows expressing heat flux density in a time scale that reflects instantaneous power transfer, enabling more precise thermal evaluations.

Where are calorie (IT)-based heat flux density units typically used?

They are used in older engineering literature, thermal conductivity tests, materials processing, calorimetry studies, and fire safety evaluations where calorie units remain relevant.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both calorie (IT)/hour/cm² and calorie (IT)/second/cm² are non-SI units often requiring conversion to SI units for general engineering use.
