What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one international-table calorie of energy per minute, used for small continuous heat rates.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/minute to calorie (IT)/second?

Converting allows expressing energy transfer over smaller time scales, which can be useful for precise measurements in thermal and physiological contexts.

Are the calorie-based units compatible with SI units?

These units are based on a historic calorie definition and often require additional conversion steps to be expressed in SI units such as watts.
