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

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, specifically one thermochemical British thermal unit transferred every minute across one square foot.

Why convert to calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter?

This unit is useful for representing heat flux in smaller surface areas and is common in laboratory and historical thermal measurements.

Can this converter be used for all heat flux data?

It is designed for specific thermochemical units of Btu and calorie and should be used with consistent unit definitions to ensure accuracy.
