What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer based on the International Table calorie per second, often used to express heat-transfer rates.

Why convert calorie (IT)/second to newton meter/second?

Converting to newton meter/second (watts) allows for standardization in SI units, facilitating analysis and comparison with mechanical power values.

Is the conversion exact for all calorie types?

No, this conversion specifically uses the International Table calorie; other calorie definitions can result in different values.
