What units does this tool convert between?

It converts heat flux density from calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter to horsepower (metric)/square foot.

Why would I need to convert between these units?

This conversion is useful in thermal analyses where heat flux is expressed in mixed unit systems seen in industrial or legacy documents.

Is this converter suitable for scientific research?

Due to non-SI and mixed units, this tool is better suited for approximate conversions rather than high-precision scientific work.
