What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat or energy transfer of one international‑table calorie per minute.

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

To express power in larger units for easier comparison and standardization in scientific and engineering analyses.

Can this conversion be used for all calorie types?

No, it is specifically for International Table calorie units and may not be accurate for other calorie definitions.
