What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer as one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, often used to quantify thermal energy flow in heating and cooling systems.

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

Conversion is useful for interpreting thermal power data in terms commonly used in laboratory calorimetry, legacy engineering literature, and to translate measurements into SI-based units.

Are there any precautions when using this conversion?

Yes, it is important to be aware that calorie (th)/second is less used today and may cause confusion, so exact constants and context should be carefully considered.
