What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer using International Table British thermal units per hour, commonly in HVAC and heating system capacities.

When should I use calorie (IT)/hour?

Use calorie (IT)/hour for representing very small steady heat flow rates, especially in laboratory calorimetry and material thermal testing.

Is this conversion suitable for all heat transfer rates?

No, calorie (IT)/hour is more appropriate for small-scale heat flows and may not be ideal for large heat transfer measurements.
