Why do I need to convert from Btu (IT)/minute to Btu (th)/minute?

Converting ensures accuracy when specifications or calculations require the thermochemical definition of Btu, which can differ slightly from the international Btu.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It’s widely used in HVAC design, industrial thermal process engineering, boiler and furnace rating, and energy balance calculations.

Can ignoring this conversion affect results?

Yes, neglecting it can introduce minor errors in thermal power measurements, especially in precise engineering applications.
