What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer expressed as one kilocalorie (International Table) consumed or delivered per minute, often used in biology and small heating applications.

Why use horsepower for power measurements?

Horsepower is a conventional non-SI unit representing the rate of doing work, widely used in rating engines, motors, and machinery performance.

Can I use this tool for metric horsepower?

This tool converts to mechanical/imperial horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]. Different horsepower variants, like metric horsepower, require separate consideration.
