What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures the rate of heat transfer or thermal power, defined as one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour.

Why convert calorie (th)/hour to foot pound-force/minute?

Converting these units allows translation of thermal power measurements into mechanical power units for comparison, especially useful in interdisciplinary studies and engineering.

Are calorie (th)/hour and foot pound-force/minute SI units?

No, both are non-SI units; the watt is the preferred SI unit for power measurement.
