What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures power based on 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour, indicating heat transfer rate.

Why use Btu (th)/minute instead of MBtu (IT)/hour?

Btu (th)/minute expresses thermal power in terms of thermochemical British thermal units transferred per minute, offering finer granularity for heat transfer analysis.

Can this conversion be used for all heating equipment?

This conversion is appropriate for furnaces, boilers, heaters, and related HVAC and industrial thermal systems when steady-state conditions apply.
