What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy flow, indicating heating or cooling capacity based on thermochemical British thermal units transferred per minute.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to foot pound-force/hour?

To translate thermal power ratings into mechanical work units used in older or imperial-system engineering contexts for equipment comparison or historical data analysis.

Is foot pound-force/hour an SI unit?

No, foot pound-force/hour is a non-SI unit typically used to express very small mechanical power values in legacy or historical engineering documents.
