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

It measures heat flux density as energy transferred per second across each square centimeter, using the thermochemical calorie definition.

Why convert to calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter?

Converting enables comparison with older engineering literature and equipment references that use the International Table calorie on an hourly scale.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both calorie-based units are non-SI units often used historically or in specific legacy contexts.
