Why is it necessary to convert erg/hour/square millimeter to calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter?

Converting between these units allows comparison between legacy CGS heat flux measurements and more commonly used thermochemical calorie units in engineering and calorimetry.

Can this converter handle modern SI units directly?

No, this tool is designed specifically to convert from CGS-based units to thermochemical calorie units, not directly from SI units.

What should I be careful about when using this conversion?

Pay attention to differences in area units and energy definitions to avoid scaling errors and ensure contextually accurate results.

Key Terminology

Erg/hour/square millimeter: A heat flux density unit representing energy in ergs per hour through one square millimeter, based on CGS energy and metric area/time.
Calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter: A unit measuring the rate of heat flow, defined as one thermochemical calorie transferred per hour over one square centimeter.
Heat Flux Density: The amount of heat energy transferred per unit area per unit time.

Quick Knowledge Check

Which unit is a measure of heat flux density using CGS energy and metric area?
