What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change power values measured in Btu (IT)/minute to Btu (th)/second. These units both represent rates of heat transfer but use different British thermal unit standards common in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical engineering applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in Btu (IT)/minute you want to convert
Select Btu (IT)/minute as the input unit and Btu (th)/second as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent thermal power measurement
Use the result to analyze or compare heat transfer rates in your applications

Key Features

Converts thermal power between Btu (IT)/minute and Btu (th)/second units
Supports HVAC and industrial heat transfer rate evaluations
Browser-based and straightforward to operate
Facilitates integration of imperial heat rates into thermochemical unit systems

Examples

10 Btu (IT)/minute equals 10 × 0.0166778245 = 0.166778245 Btu (th)/second
100 Btu (IT)/minute equals 100 × 0.0166778245 = 1.66778245 Btu (th)/second

Common Use Cases

Rating heat output of boilers, burners, and heat exchangers in industrial systems
Specifying cooling or heating capacity for HVAC and refrigeration equipment
Converting imperial thermal power values for energy balance calculations
Comparing heat delivery or removal rates in furnaces and air conditioners
Evaluating thermal system performance in mechanical engineering and energy design

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent unit standards when comparing thermal power values
Use steady-state conditions for accurate conversion results
Double-check units as regional variations may affect conventions
Incorporate conversion results into comprehensive energy analysis and equipment rating

Limitations

Minor differences between International Table and Thermochemical Btu definitions affect precision
Conversion assumes steady-state heat transfer, so transient scenarios might need extra consideration
Variations in unit use by region or industry require careful application of conversion factors
