What does one Btu (IT)/minute represent?

One Btu (IT)/minute is the rate of heat transfer of one international British thermal unit per minute, commonly used in thermal power measurements.

A hectowatt is an SI-derived power unit equal to 100 watts, used to measure rates of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to hectowatt?

Converting Btu (IT)/minute to hectowatt helps translate imperial thermal power units into standardized SI values suitable for engineering and equipment rating.
