What does one calorie (IT) per minute measure?

It measures the rate at which energy or heat is transferred, specifically one international-table calorie of energy per minute.

Why convert calorie (IT)/minute to joule per minute?

Converting to joule per minute provides a standard SI-derived unit that facilitates consistent scientific and engineering reporting.

Is joule per minute commonly used instead of watts?

Joule per minute is used when minute-scale time averaging is convenient, but watts are more common in broader engineering contexts.
