What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal energy flow rate based on thermochemical British thermal units transferred per minute.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to watts?

Converting to watts allows comparing and integrating thermal power with electrical and mechanical power data expressed in SI units.

Can the conversion handle transient thermal loads?

No, the conversion tool assumes a constant energy transfer rate and is suited for steady-state power values.
