What is a calorie (th)/second used for?

It represents power based on thermochemical calories per second, commonly in laboratory calorimetry and older engineering heat specifications.

Why convert calorie (th)/second to MBtu (IT)/hour?

To translate small-scale or legacy heat measurements into larger units usable in HVAC design, furnace ratings, and industrial energy management.

Are the conversion results precise for all applications?

The conversion is approximate and assumes steady-state conditions; accuracy may vary due to unit definition differences and rounding.
