What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/second represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer of one thermochemical kilocalorie per second and equals exactly 4184 watts.

What is a foot pound-force per minute used for?

It is used to measure mechanical power at slow rotational speeds, especially in legacy or imperial unit contexts.

Can this converter handle high power values accurately?

Since foot pound-force per minute is a non-SI unit, it is less precise for very high power levels and large conversions.
