What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

Kilocalorie (th)/minute measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.

When should I use deciwatt instead of watt or milliwatt?

Deciwatt is useful for expressing small power levels around 0.1 W without switching to milliwatt notation, often used in electronics and lab measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for all power ranges?

This conversion is best suited for thermal energy rates and low power levels; it may be less practical for very high power applications.
