Why would I convert Btu (IT)/second to calorie (th)/hour?

Converting to calorie (th)/hour is helpful for expressing heat transfer rates on smaller scales or when working in fields like calorimetry or physiological studies that use calorie-based units.

Is calorie (th)/hour a standard unit of power?

Calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI unit used primarily in specific fields and smaller-scale heat measurements, whereas watts remain the preferred international standard for power.

Can this tool be used for large engineering power conversions?

While the tool accurately converts units, large-scale engineering often prefers watts or kilowatts, so calorie (th)/hour may be less commonly used in those contexts.
