What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer as one kilocalorie delivered or used each minute, commonly applied to metabolic or thermal energy rates.

Where is pferdestärke (ps) commonly used?

Pferdestärke is mainly used in German-speaking countries to express engine power and mechanical output in automotive contexts.

Can I directly compare kilocalorie (IT)/minute and pferdestärke (ps)?

They measure different types of power—thermal versus mechanical—so comparisons should consider the context and purpose of the conversion.
