What does Btu (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as one thermochemical British thermal unit of heat transferred per hour, used mainly in heating and cooling applications.

Where is Calorie (IT)/minute typically used?

It is used in scientific fields such as laboratory calorimetry, small-scale thermal engineering, and physiology to express small continuous heat transfer rates.

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

Converting helps translate larger heating or cooling power values into smaller, precise heat transfer rates useful for laboratory and scientific purposes.
