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

It measures heat flux density as the energy transfer rate per minute across one square centimeter, using the International Table calorie.

Why convert to Btu (IT)/hour/square foot?

Because Btu (IT)/hour/square foot is commonly used in building energy codes and insulation performance evaluations, making it useful for practical engineering assessments.

Are these conversions exact for all conditions?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state heat flow and uniform surface properties; environmental variations may affect precision.
