What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures power as heat transfer rate, defined as one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, equal to approximately 0.0697333 watts.

Where is MBtu (IT)/hour commonly used?

MBtu (IT)/hour is used for rating heating equipment like boilers, specifying industrial heat input, and expressing building heating loads.

Why might the converted values be very small?

Because calorie (th)/minute represents small-scale power, conversion to MBtu (IT)/hour results in very small decimal values.
