What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer where one kilocalorie (International Table) is transferred or used each minute.

Can I convert these units directly to watts using this tool?

No, this tool only converts between kilocalorie (IT)/minute and kilocalorie (IT)/second; conversion to watts requires additional calculation.
