What is Btu (th)/minute used for?

Btu (th)/minute measures thermal power based on thermochemical British thermal units transferred per minute, commonly used for heating capacity in HVAC systems.

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

Converting allows comparison and integration of thermal power values under different unit standards and time intervals, aiding consistent HVAC equipment rating and thermal system design.

Are there any discrepancies in the conversion?

Yes, slight differences arise due to distinct definitions of thermochemical and International Table Btu, and conversion assumes steady state conditions.
