What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

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

Where is metric horsepower commonly used?

Metric horsepower is often used to rate engine power of vehicles in European and Asian markets and specify output for small motors and industrial equipment.

Can this conversion tool be used for all power applications?

While it converts power equivalently between units, it is ideal for contexts involving human metabolism, heating, or mechanical power but less typical in most industrial scenarios.
