What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute.

Where is Btu (IT)/hour commonly used?

It is used to express heat transfer rates in HVAC systems, boilers, water heaters, and for estimating building heat loss or gain.

Why convert from kilocalorie (IT)/minute to Btu (IT)/hour?

To standardize power measurements between nutritional/physiological energy units and thermal power units for heating applications.
