What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It represents a power unit defined as the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one international British thermal unit per minute.

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

To translate thermal power from imperial to metric units for easier comparison and calculation in engineering and scientific contexts.

Can this converter be used for non-steady-state heat transfer calculations?

This converter assumes steady-state heat transfer, so it should be used cautiously for transient or variable conditions.
