What does calorie (IT)/hour measure?

Calorie (IT)/hour quantifies power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one International Table calorie per hour, typically used for very small steady heat flow rates.

Why convert to hectojoule/second?

Hectojoule/second represents power in units of 100 joules per second, making it more suitable for describing electrical and heating device power ratings.

Is calorie (IT)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (IT)/hour is not an SI unit; it is used primarily in thermal and calorimetric contexts and requires careful handling when combining with SI units.
