What does Btu (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer defined as one international British thermal unit per minute, commonly used in thermal power contexts.

Why convert from Btu (IT)/minute to joule/minute?

Converting to joule/minute helps express thermal power in SI units, making engineering calculations and comparisons more standardized.

Can joule/minute capture fast power fluctuations?

No, joule/minute is a minute-scale averaged unit and may not accurately represent rapid changes occurring over seconds.
