What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal power as the rate of energy transfer of one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered every minute.

How is kilocalorie (IT)/hour defined?

It quantifies power by measuring the rate of energy transfer equal to one International Table kilocalorie delivered each hour.

Why convert between these kilocalorie units?

Converting helps compare energy rates that use different kilocalorie definitions and time units in applications such as physiology, HVAC, and cooking.
