What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures thermal power as the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second.

When should I use Btu (IT)/second as a unit?

Use it when specifying heat output of heating equipment or performing engineering calculations involving British thermal units.

Is this conversion common in SI unit based systems?

No, this conversion is less common when exclusively using SI units (watts), which may require additional conversions.
