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

It measures heat flux density as the energy transferred per minute through one square foot area in terms of International Table British thermal units.

Why convert to watt per square centimeter?

Because watt per square centimeter offers a localized and precise measure of power per area used in physics and engineering fields like laser processing and electronics.

Is the conversion formula standard for all cases?

The formula assumes standard definitions and consistent measurement conditions for accurate unit translation.
