What does one newton meter/second represent?

One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, or one watt, representing mechanical power.

When should I use calorie (th)/hour instead of watts?

Calorie (th)/hour is used for small heat transfer rates, such as in laboratory calorimetry or physiological heat measurements.

Is calorie (th)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and is smaller than a watt, the preferred SI unit for power.

Examples

Convert 2 newton meter/second to calorie (th)/hour: 2 × 860.4206500956 = 1720.8413 cal (th)/h
Convert 0.5 newton meter/second to calorie (th)/hour: 0.5 × 860.4206500956 = 430.2103 cal (th)/h

Common Use Cases

Measuring small heat transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry.
Expressing metabolic or physiological heat production rates.
Assessing low heating or heat-loss rates in small devices or components.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the units before converting between mechanical and thermal power.
Use this conversion for low-range power values due to unit scale differences.
Document conversions clearly when used in scientific reports to maintain clarity.

Limitations

Calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit and much smaller than a watt, suitable only for small power ranges.
Measurements at low power may be impacted by environmental and equipment factors.
The SI unit watt remains preferred for most power measurements.
