What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute, often related to metabolic or thermal energy.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to centiwatt?

Converting to centiwatt allows expressing energy transfer rates in a small electrical power unit useful for electronics, sensors, and low-power applications.

Is the centiwatt suitable for all power measurements?

No, centiwatt is appropriate only for very low-power systems and not practical for measuring high power values, where watts or kilowatts are preferred.
