What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It quantifies power as the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to calorie (th)/hour?

Converting allows comparison of heat transfer rates over longer intervals, useful in experiments and metabolic studies.

Are calorie (th)/hour units part of the SI system?

No, calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI thermal unit; watts are the preferred SI unit for power.
