What does one Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer of one international British thermal unit per minute, used to quantify thermal power in HVAC and engineering.

Why convert Btu/min to foot pound-force/hour?

Converting allows comparison and integration of thermal power measurements with mechanical work rates in legacy imperial unit contexts.

Is foot pound-force/hour commonly used today?

No, it is a non-SI unit rarely used in modern power calculations, mainly applicable in historical or specialized engineering documents.
