What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer representing one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute, used mostly in small-scale or physiological contexts.

Where is MBtu (IT)/hour commonly used?

MBtu (IT)/hour is primarily used for rating HVAC equipment, industrial boilers, furnaces, and building heating loads, indicating heat transfer rates on a larger scale.

Why convert between these units?

Converting allows users to translate thermal power values from smaller or physiological measurements into larger industrial or utility scale units compatible with energy-management systems.
