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 Milliwatt per square metre
The milliwatt per square metre (mW/m²) equals 10⁻³ W/m². Relevant in geothermal surveys: global average continental heat flux ≈ 65 mW/m², oceanic ≈ 101 mW/m². Used in building physics for quantifying very small heat leakage through ultra-high-performance insulation. 1 mW/m² = 10⁻³ W/m² = 1 erg/(s·cm²).
