What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as energy transfer rate equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute, often used in nutritional or thermal contexts.

When is foot pound-force/hour used?

It is used to express small mechanical power or work rates in legacy imperial systems, commonly in engineering or historical reports.

Why convert between these units?

Users convert to translate energy transfer rates from nutritional or thermal units into mechanical power units for engineering or comparison purposes.
