What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the transfer rate of one international-table calorie of energy per minute, often related to heat or energy transfer.

What is a pound-foot per second?

It is an Imperial unit of power measuring the rate of mechanical work equal to one pound-force foot performed each second.

When should I use this converter?

Use it when you need to translate small-scale heat power rates into mechanical power units or convert legacy Imperial data to SI units.
