What does kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, specifically the flow of one International Table kilocalorie of energy per hour across one square foot.

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

Converting to calorie (IT)/minute/square centimeter allows for comparison and analysis of heat flux density in calorie-based metrics commonly used in thermal tests and biomedical studies.

Are these conversions accurate for all calorie definitions?

No, these conversions are based on the International Table calorie definition and may not be compatible with other calorie units.
