What does calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter/°C measure?

It measures convective heat transfer coefficient representing heat flux per surface area per temperature difference in metric units.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

This conversion is common in HVAC design, refrigeration engineering, heat exchanger performance, thermal research, and building energy modeling.

Why does the temperature unit change during conversion?

Because the initial unit uses degrees Celsius and the converted unit uses degrees Fahrenheit, which requires adjustment in the conversion factor.
