What does watt [W] measure?

Watt (W) is the SI derived unit of power, measuring the rate of energy transfer or work done per second.

When should I convert watts to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Converting watts to kilocalorie (th)/minute is useful when expressing power in terms of thermal energy transfer relevant to physiology or calorimetry.

Are there any limitations to this conversion?

Yes, the kilocalorie (th)/minute unit is less common and assumes steady-state conditions; it may not be precise for highly variable power levels.
