What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures power, specifically the rate of heat transfer, based on one thousand British thermal units delivered per hour according to the International Table standard.

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to calorie (IT)/minute?

Converting to calorie (IT)/minute allows expressing very large heat transfer rates in smaller increments for detailed analysis in laboratory and small-scale thermal engineering contexts.

Can this converter be used for non-steady heat transfer situations?

No, the conversion applies best under steady state conditions; transient or varying heat flow may affect the reliability of results.
