Why is it important to convert calorie (th)/second/cm/°C to kilocalorie (IT)/hour/meter/°C?

Converting between these units helps integrate legacy thermal conductivity data with modern engineering standards used in HVAC and construction.

What does calorie (th)/second/cm/°C measure?

It measures thermal conductivity based on heat flow in thermochemical calories per second through a 1 cm thickness and area with a 1 °C temperature difference.

Can I rely solely on this conversion for all heat transfer calculations?

While helpful, the conversion should be applied carefully considering unit definitions and context to avoid inaccuracies.
