What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, representing very low thermal power.

When should I convert calorie (th)/hour to pound-foot/second?

You convert these units when you need to translate thermal power values into mechanical power terms, especially in engineering applications using Imperial units.

Is pound-foot/second a standard power unit?

Yes, pound-foot/second is an Imperial unit of power representing the rate of mechanical work performed per second.
