What does calorie (IT)/hour measure?

Calorie (IT)/hour measures very small rates of energy transfer equal to one International Table calorie per hour, typically used in thermal and calorimetric contexts.

Why convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekawatt?

Converting helps translate small heat flow power into common metric units, making values easier to interpret in engineering and electrical contexts.

Is this conversion useful for large power values?

No, the calorie (IT)/hour is a very small unit, so using it for large power calculations is impractical and may not be accurate.
