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

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, specifically the energy transferred per minute across one square centimeter using the International Table calorie.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter?

Converting to this unit helps express heat flux density in terms appropriate for building physics, HVAC design, and architectural energy analysis where hourly rates and larger areas are standard.

Can I use this converter for other types of energy transfer?

No, this conversion tool is designed exclusively for heat flux density units using the International Table calorie definitions.
