What does one calorie (IT) per minute measure?

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

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

Because centijoule per second better suits precise scientific measurements and electronic power specifications at very small scales.

Is this conversion suitable for fluctuating power values?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state unchanging power transfer for accuracy.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values represent steady-state power for accurate conversion.
Use the tool for translating small heat transfer rates into more precise joule-based units.
Verify the unit familiarity to maintain clarity, as calorie (IT) is less common than SI units.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady, unvarying power transfer.
Accuracy depends on the precision of the original calorie-based measurement.
Calorie (IT) unit is less frequently used today compared to SI units.
