What does calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter measure?

It measures the rate of heat flow per unit area, representing one thermochemical calorie transferred per hour across one square centimeter.

Why use dyne/hour/centimeter for heat flux?

It is a CGS-derived unit used historically to report very small heat or radiative fluxes, especially in older laboratory and astrophysical literature.

How accurate is this conversion?

The conversion factor is precise, but measurement uncertainties and the nonstandard nature of dyne/hour/centimeter may affect overall accuracy.
