What does 1 Btu (IT)/hour represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer equal to one International Table British thermal unit delivered per hour, commonly used to express heat transfer rates.

For what purposes is kilocalorie (th)/minute used?

It measures thermal power based on thermochemical kilocalories per minute, useful in physiology, laboratory heating equipment, and calorimetry.

Why is this conversion important?

It translates heating system power measurements into units more suited for physiological or laboratory thermal energy analyses.
