What does Btu (IT)/second represent?

Btu (IT)/second denotes the transfer of one International Table British thermal unit of energy per second, used for measuring power in heat transfer.

Why convert from Btu (IT)/second to Btu (IT)/hour?

Converting helps express heat transfer power over longer periods, facilitating comparison with hourly HVAC capacities and simplifying system design calculations.

Can I use this converter for other Btu variants?

No, this conversion specifically applies to the International Table (IT) British thermal unit and does not account for other Btu variants.
