What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures thermal power as the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit per second.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to calorie (IT)/hour?

To express large heat transfer rates in smaller units for detailed thermal analysis and comparison.

Can this tool be used for small heat transfer rate measurements?

Yes, calorie (IT)/hour is useful for representing very small steady heat flow rates.
