What does 1 calorie (IT)/second represent?

It is the power equivalent to one International Table calorie of energy transferred per second, used to quantify thermal power or heat transfer rates.

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

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/second helps aggregate heat transfer rates into more manageable units for easier interpretation in engineering and biomedical fields.

Can I use this converter for units other than International Table calories?

No, this tool is designed for the International Table calorie definition; other variants may lead to inaccurate results.
