What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer of one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, indicating thermal power flow.

Why convert to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour is useful for rating smaller heating devices and expressing thermal gains or losses in legacy unit contexts.

Can I use this conversion in all regions?

This conversion is appropriate where thermochemical units are standard; some regions may require conversion to SI watt units for compliance.
