What does one calorie (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer of one international-table calorie per minute, used to measure small continuous heat rates in scientific and engineering fields.

What is boiler horsepower used for?

Boiler horsepower quantifies the thermal power required to evaporate a set amount of water per hour and rates the steaming capacity of boilers and steam-generation equipment.

Can I directly compare calorie (IT)/minute and boiler horsepower values?

Since calorie (IT)/minute measures small power levels and boiler horsepower relates to larger industrial power, the direct comparison involves very small numbers and standard conditions should be considered.
