What does Btu (IT)/minute/square foot measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, defined by one International Table British thermal unit per minute through one square foot.

When should I use calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter?

This unit is useful for reporting small-scale surface heat flux, especially in laboratory tests and calibration where calorie-based units are preferred.

Are there any unit compatibility concerns?

Yes, calorie (IT)/hour/cm² is a non-SI unit and may not be compatible with datasets that require purely SI units.
