What does Btu (IT)/second represent?

It is a power unit measuring energy transfer rate as one International Table British thermal unit per second.

When should I use kilojoule per minute units?

Use kJ/min when measuring energy transfer or power rates over minutes, common in labs or physiological studies.

Is the conversion factor between Btu/s and kJ/min constant?

Yes, the tool uses a fixed conversion factor, but note that actual precision depends on the exact value of Btu (IT) adopted.
