What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

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

Where is Btu (IT)/minute commonly used?

Btu (IT)/minute is commonly applied for thermal power measurements in engineering, HVAC, and refrigeration systems.

Can I use this conversion for all calorie definitions?

No, this conversion applies specifically to the International Table calorie and British thermal unit definitions.

Key Terminology

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute: Unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one International Table kilocalorie delivered or consumed per minute.
Btu (IT)/minute: Unit of power equal to the rate of heat transfer of one International British thermal unit per minute, used mainly in thermal and HVAC contexts.
Power: The rate at which energy is transferred, used here to describe energy flow per unit time.
