What does CHU/hour/square foot measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, expressed as CHUs of thermal energy delivered or removed per hour across one square foot.

Why convert to Calorie (IT)/minute/square centimeter?

Because it allows analysis of heat flux density on a smaller surface area and shorter time scale, which is useful in precise thermal testing and specific applications.

Can I use this conversion for other heat flux units?

This tool specifically converts between CHU/hour/square foot and Calorie (IT)/minute/square centimeter and is not intended for other heat flux unit conversions.
