Why is calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter not commonly used today?

Because it is a non-SI unit, it is less favored in modern international standards that primarily rely on SI units like watts per square meter.

What types of applications use foot pound/minute/square foot?

This unit is used mainly in older U.S. engineering literature, HVAC reports, and thermal-flux measurements involving imperial units.

Can I convert values between these units manually?

Yes, by multiplying the calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter value by the conversion factor 47.814488225, you obtain the equivalent foot pound/minute/square foot value.
