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

It measures heat flux density as one International Table British thermal unit transferred per minute through one square foot of area.

Where is calorie (th)/second/square centimeter commonly used?

It is mainly used in laboratory calorimetry, fire testing, and small-scale surface heating measurements.

Why convert between these two units?

Converting helps translate thermal flux data between HVAC engineering standards and experimental or legacy units used in testing.
