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

It measures heat flux density as the rate of thermochemical calorie energy transferred per minute across one square centimeter, representing power per unit area.

Why convert to foot pound/minute/square foot?

This conversion helps interpret and report heat flux data in imperial units often used in older U.S. engineering and HVAC documentation.

Is this converter suitable for modern engineering units?

The converter focuses on calorie and foot pound units mostly used in historical or legacy contexts; modern work often uses SI units like watts per square meter instead.
