What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute, often used in physiological or small heat transfer contexts.

Where is MBtu (IT)/hour commonly used?

MBtu (IT)/hour is primarily used in rating heating equipment such as boilers and furnaces, as well as in industrial and building energy management.

Can I use this tool for large scale industrial power conversions?

This tool is more suited for converting small-scale energy rates from kilocalorie (IT)/minute to industrial-scale MBtu values, but the kilocalorie unit itself has limited use in large-scale contexts.
