About International table calorie per second per square centimetre
The international table calorie per second per square centimetre (cal(IT)/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 41868 W/m² (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The IT variant of the high-flux CGS unit, slightly larger than the thermochemical counterpart due to the IT calorie definition. 1 cal(IT)/(s·cm²) = 41868 W/m².
About Kilowatt per square metre
The kilowatt per square metre (kW/m²) equals exactly 1000 W/m². Standard for concentrated solar collectors (parabolic trough ≈ 20-80 kW/m² at focus), industrial infrared heaters, and induction heating surfaces. 1 kW/m² = 1000 W/m² = 0.1 W/cm² = 100 mW/cm².
