What does one mega Btu (IT) represent?

One mega Btu (IT) is one million British thermal units as defined by the International Table, measuring thermal energy equivalent to roughly 1.055 billion joules.

Why convert mega Btu (IT) to gram-force centimeter?

This conversion helps translate large heat energy values into much smaller mechanical energy units for specialized engineering or scientific use.

Is gram-force centimeter commonly used in modern engineering?

No, gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit and has limited use today compared to SI units like joules or newton-metres.
