What does Btu (IT)/second measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer or energy conversion using the International Table British thermal unit per second.

Why convert Btu (IT)/second to Newton meter/second?

To express power in SI units compatible with engineering calculations and to compare with values given in watts.

Are the conversion values exact for all Btu definitions?

No, the tool assumes the International Table Btu; other Btu definitions may yield different results.
