What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour and is used to quantify small thermal power rates.

Where is Btu (th)/minute commonly used?

Btu (th)/minute is used to express heating or cooling capacities in HVAC systems, industrial process heaters, and building thermal load calculations.

Why may converted values be very small decimals?

Because calorie (th)/hour measures very low power and Btu (th)/minute represents larger heating capacities, conversion results can involve very small decimal numbers.
