What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the transfer of one international-table calorie of energy per minute, expressing heat or energy transfer rates.

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

To express power in an SI-derived, standardized unit that facilitates compatibility and comparison with other power measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for large-scale power measurements?

No, calorie (IT)/minute is more appropriate for small continuous heat rates and may be less practical for larger power scales.

How reliable is the conversion formula?

The formula uses a fixed factor (1 cal/min = 0.006978 daJ/s) consistent with accepted unit definitions, but small values may affect precision.
