What does Btu (IT)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer or energy conversion in thermal systems, representing one International Table British thermal unit per second.

Why use foot pound-force per minute?

It is used to quantify mechanical power in imperial units, often for small mechanical devices and legacy engineering documentation.

How is the conversion between these units applied?

It translates thermal power rates expressed in BTU to mechanical power rates useful in comparing systems or interpreting historical engineering data.
