What does one Btu (IT)/minute represent?

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

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/second?

To translate imperial thermal power values into calorie-based units used in scientific and engineering applications focused on thermochemical heat transfer.

Can this conversion be used for all types of BTU definitions?

No, the conversion assumes the use of the International Table British thermal unit (IT) standard.
