What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal power as thermochemical British thermal units transferred per minute, commonly used to describe heating or cooling capacities.

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

Converting to Btu (IT)/second expresses power on a per-second basis with a different BTU standard, aiding comparisons and engineering calculations.

Are these BTU units interchangeable without loss of accuracy?

No, slight differences between thermochemical and International Table BTUs can introduce minor discrepancies in thermal power values.
