What does Btu (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical British thermal units per hour, commonly used in HVAC applications.

Why convert Btu (th)/hour to Btu (IT)/minute?

The conversion allows expressing thermal power in terms of international Btu per minute, useful for aligning with certain industrial and mechanical engineering standards.
