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

It measures heat flux density, defining the rate of heat transfer per unit area using international table calories per minute per square centimeter.

Where is horsepower per square foot used?

Horsepower per square foot quantifies heat flux density in industrial and thermal engineering contexts, such as combustion equipment and radiant heat testing.

How accurate is the conversion between these units?

The conversion is based on standard unit definitions, but precision depends on consistent unit application and maintaining the standard horsepower and calorie values.
