What does erg/hour/square millimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as energy transferred in ergs per hour through a square millimeter area, using CGS energy and metric area per time.

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

Converting helps relate heat transfer data from CGS units to calorie-based units common in calorimetry, engineering tests, and physiological studies.

Are there limitations to using this conversion?

Yes, differences in unit bases, small quantity values, steady flux assumptions, and legacy data standards require cautious conversion and verification.
