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

It measures heat flux density, representing the rate of heat transfer per unit area with energy expressed as International Table calories transferred each minute over one square centimeter.

Why convert to joule/second/square meter?

Converting to joule/second/square meter provides measurements in SI units that allow uniform comparison and analysis of thermal power per unit area across various scientific and engineering applications.

Are the conversion values exact?

The conversion uses a fixed rate defined by the relationship between calorie (IT) and joule and the area and time units involved, facilitating precise transformation between these units under steady conditions.
