What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

Btu (IT)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer expressed in British thermal units per hour.

When should I use kilocalorie (IT)/minute as a unit?

Use kilocalorie (IT)/minute to express energy transfer rates in contexts like human metabolism, small heating applications, or where nutritional heat units are common.

Is this conversion suitable for all heating system calculations?

This conversion works well for HVAC and small to medium heating systems but may not be ideal for very large industrial energy calculations.
