What does foot pound/minute/square foot measure?

It measures heat flux density, representing the rate of energy transfer per unit area using imperial units.

Where is calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter commonly used?

This unit is typically used in laboratory tests, older engineering literature, and equipment calibration involving calorie-based heat flux measurements.

Can this tool convert units for transient heat flux conditions?

No, the unit conversion applies only to steady-state heat flux density scenarios; transient effects require additional analysis.
