What does erg/hour/square millimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as energy in ergs transferred per hour through one square millimeter, indicating power per unit area in CGS and metric terms.

Why convert from erg/hour/mm² to calorie (IT)/minute/cm²?

Conversion helps relate legacy CGS-based measurements to more current or application-specific units used in thermal and biomedical fields, enabling better data comparison.

Are there any accuracy concerns when converting these units?

Yes, differences in unit scales and small conversion factors can cause rounding errors and require careful consideration of measurement conditions.
