What does calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as the rate of heat transfer per hour over one square centimeter, expressed in International Table calories.

When should I use erg/hour/square millimeter units?

Erg/hour/square millimeter is appropriate for detailed heat flux measurements in small areas, such as in microelectronics or astrophysical flux studies.

Why is it important to convert between these units?

Converting helps compare legacy calorie-based data with CGS-based measurements, aligning experimental and historical datasets with current heat transfer analysis.
