What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures the rate of mechanical work performed, often used to report small amounts of power in imperial engineering contexts.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT) per minute?

Because kilocalorie (IT)/minute expresses energy transfer commonly used in nutritional, metabolic, and thermal energy applications.

Is this conversion suitable for precise scientific work?

No, since foot pound-force per minute is a non-SI unit and kilocalorie (IT)/minute is tied to specific thermal definitions, additional precision units should be considered.
