What does an inch-pound measure?

An inch-pound measures energy or torque as one pound-force applied through a one-inch distance.

Why convert inch-pounds to Btu (IT)?

Converting inch-pounds to Btu (IT) helps compare mechanical energy with thermal energy in engineering and thermodynamics.

Is the conversion exact between inch-pound and Btu (IT)?

No, the conversion is approximate due to the nature of unit definitions and rounding.
