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

It measures heat flux density as the rate of thermochemical calories transferred per minute across one square centimeter.

Where is kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter commonly used?

It is used in building physics and HVAC design to express heat transfer rates per hour through one square meter.

Why convert between these two units?

Converting helps translate heat flux data from laboratory or physiological measurements into units suitable for building energy audits and thermal performance assessments.
