What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, representing heat flow over time.

Where is pferdestarke (ps) commonly used?

It is commonly used in Germany and other German-speaking countries for engine and machine power ratings.

Can I use this conversion for mechanical power directly?

While it converts energy equivalence, it does not account for mechanical or thermal system efficiencies.
