What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

Btu (IT)/hour measures power in terms of heat transfer rate based on the International Table British thermal unit delivered or removed per hour.

Why use centijoule/second as a power unit?

Centijoule/second is used to express very small steady power levels, useful for low-power electronics, sensors, and scientific measurements.

Is the conversion exact for all applications?

The conversion uses precise definitions, but differences in scale and application context may affect interpretation and use.

Limitations

Btu (IT)/hour is intended for larger-scale thermal systems while centijoule/second measures very small power, so units may not be directly comparable without proper context.
Conversion depends on precise Btu (IT) values and exact time unit conversion factors.
Care is needed to avoid confusion when applying conversions to vastly different power scales.
