What does one Btu (IT)/minute/square foot represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer of one British thermal unit of energy per minute across one square foot of surface area.

When should I be careful using this converter?

Be cautious when dealing with transient heat flows or highly non-uniform conditions, as the conversion assumes steady or quasi-steady rates typical in thermal systems.
