About International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(IT)/(h·m²)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/m² (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s). The IT variant used in steam engineering, solar thermal collector standards, and process heat calculations. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1633 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.
