What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat energy transfer, based on thermochemical calories delivered per minute.

What is a centiwatt [cW] used for?

A centiwatt quantifies low levels of electrical power, common in ultra-low-power electronics and small sensor devices.

Can this converter be used for high precision power conversion?

No, due to rounding and differing energy contexts, the converter is best for general use and not for applications needing extreme precision.
