What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures thermal power as the heat transfer rate of one thermochemical calorie per hour, commonly used in laboratory and physiological contexts.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/minute helps express energy transfer rates in units suited for nutritional and physiological studies, such as exercise energy expenditure.

Is the calorie (th)/hour unit part of the SI system?

No, calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and is relatively small compared to SI power units like the watt.
