What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer based on thermochemical British thermal units delivered per second, used for thermal power.

When should I use centiwatt as a measurement unit?

Centiwatt is ideal for quantifying power in ultra-low-power devices, such as sensor nodes and micro-energy harvesters.

Is the conversion between Btu (th)/second and centiwatt precise?

While the tool provides exact conversion rates, the large difference in scale requires attention to maintain accuracy.
