What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

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

Where is Btu (IT)/second commonly used?

It is widely used for specifying heat output in boilers, furnaces, HVAC components, and engineering heat-transfer calculations.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to Btu (IT)/second?

To compare or utilize power values in consistent thermal units between metabolic or small-scale heating rates and industrial or engineering contexts.
