What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting to calorie (th)/minute allows more detailed reporting in thermal applications and physiology using thermochemical calorie units.

Can this conversion be used for precise engineering calculations?

No, for high-precision engineering, SI units like watts are preferred for standardization.
