What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer as one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute, often used in physiology and small-scale heating.

What is horsepower (boiler) used for?

Horsepower (boiler) is a unit for expressing the steam generation capacity of boilers and related equipment in industrial and engineering settings.

Why is the conversion factor small when converting kilocalorie (th)/minute to horsepower (boiler)?

Because kilocalorie (th)/minute is a smaller-scale thermal power unit, while horsepower (boiler) measures larger steam-generation capacity, resulting in small conversion values.
