What does one mega Btu (IT) represent?

It represents one million British thermal units as defined by the International Table, measuring a large amount of thermal energy approximately equal to 1.055 × 10^9 joules.

What is a pound-force inch used for?

It quantifies mechanical energy as the work done by a one pound-force acting through a one-inch displacement and is commonly used in US customary mechanical contexts.

Why would I convert from mega Btu (IT) to pound-force inch?

This conversion translates large-scale thermal energy into mechanical energy units, which is helpful for mechanical engineering analyses, energy management, and integrating thermal measures with mechanical unit systems.
