What does calorie (IT)/hour measure?

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

Why convert calorie (IT)/hour to kilojoule/minute?

To translate very small heat transfer rates into more commonly used modern units that measure energy over minutes, improving comparison and analysis.

Can this conversion be used for large power measurements?

No, calorie (IT)/hour is best suited for very small power levels, and kilojoule/minute or other SI units are preferred for larger powers.
