What does the unit calorie (IT)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per hour, mainly used for very small steady heat flow rates.

In which fields is the calorie (IT)/hour to Btu (th)/second conversion useful?

This conversion is useful in thermal engineering, HVAC system design, calorimetry labs, and energy-system performance testing.

Why is the conversion factor between these units very small?

Because calorie (IT)/hour represents a very low power rate compared to Btu (th)/second, leading to a tiny multiplier in conversion.
