What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat energy transfer using the International Table calorie unit per second, commonly applied in thermal power contexts.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/second to Btu (IT)/minute?

This conversion allows users to interpret thermal power data in a British thermal unit-based system, which is widely used in engineering and HVAC applications.

Is this conversion suitable for modern SI unit usage?

While useful for legacy and specific engineering purposes, these units are less favored in modern contexts that primarily use SI units like watts.
