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

It measures heat flux density as the amount of thermochemical calories transferred per minute over a square centimeter, representing power per unit area.

When is horsepower (metric)/square foot used?

It is used to express rate of heat transfer over one square foot of area using metric horsepower, commonly in industrial furnace, boiler, or radiator surface heat load contexts.

Why convert between these two units?

Conversion helps translate small-area calorie-based experimental values into units compatible with larger-scale industrial engineering applications involving metric horsepower and imperial measurements.
