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

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

When should I use horsepower (metric)/square foot for heat flux?

Use it when expressing surface heat loads where power is provided in metric horsepower and area is measured in square feet, often in industrial thermal applications.

Can this converter handle extreme temperature heat transfer conditions?

No, for extreme or non-linear heat transfer conditions, additional correction factors beyond simple conversion are needed.
