What does one calorie (IT) per minute represent?

It represents the rate of transferring one international-table calorie of energy in one minute, measuring small continuous heat or energy transfer rates.

Where is Btu (th)/minute commonly used?

Btu (th)/minute is used to quantify heating or cooling capacity in HVAC systems, industrial thermal equipment, and building thermal load calculations.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/minute to Btu (th)/minute?

Converting helps translate small-scale heat transfer rates to larger-scale thermal power units, aiding comparison and specification in various applications.
