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

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area based on thermochemical British thermal units transferred each minute across one square foot.

Why convert to foot pound/minute/square foot?

This unit is used in older U.S. engineering contexts and specialized industrial settings that rely on imperial energy measurements per area.

Can this conversion be used for metric calculations?

No, this conversion focuses on imperial units; metric users generally convert to SI units like watts per square meter instead.
