What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute, often used for metabolic energy expenditure and small heating applications.

Why convert to calorie (th)/hour?

Calorie (th)/hour is used to express small heat transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry and physiological heat production, fitting contexts where thermal power in calories per hour is preferred.

Are these units as accurate as watts for power?

No, both are non-SI units and less precise than watts; care should be taken if high accuracy is necessary.

Reporting heat transfer rates in small heating or cooling appliances using traditional food-energy units.
Measuring heat production in laboratory calorimetry for chemical reactions or sample heat output.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input values given the large conversion factor amplifies small measurement errors.
Use this conversion when non-SI thermal units are preferred or customary in your application.
Be aware of the slight differences due to the use of International Table and thermochemical calorie definitions.

Limitations

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute and calorie (th)/hour use different calorie standards which can lead to minor inconsistencies.
Both units are non-SI and generally less precise than watt measurements for power.
Precision in measurement is crucial as large conversion factors may magnify errors.
