What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the power associated with transferring one international British thermal unit of heat per minute, commonly used in engineering and HVAC.

When should I convert Btu (IT)/minute to calorie (IT)/minute?

This conversion is useful when translating larger imperial thermal power values into smaller metric-calorie units for scientific, laboratory, or physiological applications.

Is the conversion exact for all practical uses?

While based on precise energy definitions, actual results can vary due to measurement conditions and calibration differences.
