What does dyne/hour/centimeter represent?

It is a CGS-derived unit measuring heat flux density as one dyne of force per hour per centimeter of length, equivalent dimensionally to energy flux per unit area.

Why convert dyne/hour/centimeter to foot pound/minute/square foot?

To translate small heat flux density values from historical CGS units into imperial units commonly used in U.S. engineering and HVAC reports.

Are the conversion results exact?

Conversions are approximate because dyne/hour/centimeter is nonstandard and very small numerical values require careful handling.
