What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer based on the kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed per minute, often used in nutrition and physiology to indicate energy expenditure.

Why convert to foot pound-force per minute?

Converting to foot pound-force per minute translates energy transfer rates into mechanical power units useful in engineering and mechanical work calculations in imperial systems.

Is foot pound-force/minute an SI unit?

No, foot pound-force per minute is a non-SI unit of power commonly used in imperial engineering contexts and is often converted to watts for standardization.
