What does 1 calorie (IT)/second/cm/°C represent?

It represents the heat energy transferred per second through a material 1 cm thick with a 1 °C temperature difference across a unit area.

When should I use Btu (th) foot/hour/sq. foot/°F units?

This unit is used mainly in building material specifications and heat transfer calculations following imperial unit conventions.

Can this converter handle non-steady state thermal conduction?

No, it assumes steady-state heat conduction and uniform material properties for accurate conversion.
