What is the relationship between kilocalorie (IT)/second and calorie (IT)/second?

One kilocalorie (IT)/second equals 1000 calorie (IT)/second [cal/s].

In which fields is this conversion most commonly used?

This conversion is typically employed in thermal power measurement, calorimetry, biomedical energy analysis, and reviewing historical heat-transfer literature.

Can this converter be used for calories other than the International Table calorie?

No, the conversion assumes the use of International Table calories and may not apply to other calorie definitions.
