What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It is a unit of power quantifying the rate of heat transfer equal to one international British thermal unit per minute.

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to dekajoule/second?

To express imperial thermal power rates in SI units for engineering calculations and international compatibility.

Is dekajoule/second commonly used for large power measurements?

No, watts or kilowatts are generally preferred for larger power values over dekajoule per second.
