What does one Btu (IT)/minute represent?

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

What scale of power does petajoule/second measure?

Petajoule per second measures extremely large power flows, such as national-scale energy rates or astrophysical energy budgets.

Why might I convert from Btu (IT)/minute to petajoule/second?

This conversion helps translate small-scale thermal power measurements into units useful for analyzing very large-scale power flows, such as continental or grid capacities.
