What is a calorie (IT)/second?

It is a power unit that measures the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie each second, typically used for heat transfer in some calorimetry contexts.

What does a calorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents power as one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, quantifying heat transfer at a different energy and time scale than the International Table calorie.

Why convert between these two units?

Converting facilitates comparison and integration of heat transfer data across fields using different calorie definitions and time measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which calorie definition applies to your data before converting
Use steady-state power values for accurate conversions
Consider unit differences when comparing or integrating multiple data sources

Limitations

Differences between International Table and thermochemical calorie definitions can impact energy equivalence
Conversion assumes constant energy transfer rates and may not apply to transient conditions
Precision may be affected by rounding and definition variances in original data
