What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

Calorie (th)/minute measures power as the rate of thermal energy transfer based on thermochemical calories delivered per minute.

When should I use pound-foot/hour as a power unit?

Pound-foot/hour is typically used to express very low mechanical power in imperial units, especially for vintage equipment or mechanical devices with slow motion.

How accurate is the conversion between these units?

The conversion uses an exact rate for energy equivalence, but practical applications should consider differences in physical meaning and potential measurement precision issues.
