What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer in one thermochemical British thermal unit per minute, often used for heating or cooling capacity.

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

To translate localized thermal power measurements into units suitable for representing national or planetary scale energy flows.

Is this conversion practical for small power values?

Because PJ/s is an extremely large unit, conversions of small thermal powers produce tiny decimal values, limiting practical precision.
