What does erg/hour/square millimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as energy in ergs transferred per hour through a square millimeter area, used primarily in CGS-based small-area heat transfer.

What is a calorie (th)/second/square centimeter?

It is a heat flux density unit representing thermochemical calories transferred per second over one square centimeter, commonly applied in laboratory and legacy measurement contexts.

Why convert between these units?

Converting helps interpret CGS-based small-area heat flux data in more broadly used calorie units, especially when dealing with legacy data or specific applications like calorimetry and fire testing.
