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

It measures heat flux density as the rate of thermochemical calorie transfer per hour across a one square centimeter area.

When is foot pound/minute/square foot commonly used?

This unit is often used in older U.S. engineering and HVAC documents to describe heat transfer rates per unit area in imperial terms.

Why convert between these units?

Conversion enables comparison and integration of heat flux data between metric-based laboratory research and imperial-based engineering or HVAC documentation.
