What does joule/second/square meter measure?

It measures heat flow rate per unit area, equivalent to watts per square meter, indicating thermal power crossing a surface.

Why convert to calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter?

This unit is used in certain older or specialized contexts, such as calorimetry or materials processing, where calories per second per square centimeter are standard.

Are there any challenges when converting these units?

Yes, precise conversions require care due to small conversion factors and differences in calorie definitions, which could lead to errors.
