What is the conversion formula between these units?

1 kilocalorie (IT)/second equals 60 kilocalorie (IT)/minute, reflecting the time scale difference between seconds and minutes.

Are these units commonly used internationally?

Kilocalorie-based units are less standard globally compared to the watt, so they are mostly used in specific fields like physiology and calorimetry that track energy in nutritional units.
