About Erg per second per square centimetre
The erg per second per square centimetre (erg/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 10⁻³ W/m² in SI (1 erg = 10⁻⁷ J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The CGS irradiance unit used in classical electromagnetic theory, astrophysics, and older radiation physics literature. Numerically equal to the milliwatt per square metre. 1 erg/(s·cm²) = 10⁻³ W/m² = 1 mW/m².
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(IT)/(h·cm²)) equals 4186.8/(3600×10⁻⁴) = 11630 W/m² exactly (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Used in IT-based thermodynamics for high heat flux surfaces such as boiler tubes. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·cm²) = 11630 W/m².
