What units does this converter handle?

It converts heat flux density from kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot to calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter.

Why do I need to convert between these units?

Converting lets you compare thermal measurements using different calorie standards and surface area units common in engineering and scientific fields.

Are the calorie definitions used here the same?

No, the kilocalorie (IT) and calorie (th) represent different calorie definitions, which can cause slight variations in conversion.
