What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer expressed as one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second.

When should I convert Btu (th)/second to pound-foot/minute?

This is useful when comparing thermal power data with mechanical power in engineering fields like HVAC and equipment testing.

Can I use this conversion for all mechanical power calculations?

No, since these units represent different physical phenomena, the conversion is intended for appropriate thermal-to-mechanical comparisons only.
