What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of heat or energy transfer corresponding to one international-table calorie transferred every minute, often used in scientific contexts to report small continuous heat rates.

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

Converting to millijoule/second allows expressing small power measurements in standardized SI units suitable for low-power device design and precise laboratory evaluations.

Is this conversion suitable for all power measurements?

This conversion is most appropriate for relatively small-scale power rates common in thermal engineering, physiology, and low-power electronics, not for large-scale power.
