What is an erg per second?

An erg per second is a CGS unit of power representing energy transfer of one erg per second, mostly used in astrophysics and older scientific literature.

When is calorie (IT) per minute used?

Calorie (IT) per minute measures small continuous heat or energy transfer rates, often applied in laboratory calorimetry, thermal engineering, and physiology.

Can I use this converter for very large power values?

This unit converter is best suited for small to moderate power values, as calorie (IT)/minute may not be practical for extremely large or very small measurements without unit adjustments.
