What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures thermal power, representing the rate of heat flow equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per hour.

Why convert to calorie (th)/second?

Converting to calorie (th)/second expresses heat flow per second, useful in laboratory calorimetry and engineering contexts requiring more precise or SI-aligned units.

Can I use this converter for other power units?

This tool specifically converts between kilocalorie (th)/hour and calorie (th)/second and is not intended for units outside this pair.
