What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour is a power unit representing 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) transferred per hour, commonly used to rate heat transfer in HVAC and industrial processes.

Why use deciwatt for power measurement?

Deciwatt is useful for expressing small power levels, around one tenth of a watt, which suits low-consumption electronics and precise scientific measurements.

Is the conversion exact for all BTU variants?

No, MBtu (IT)/hour uses the International Table definition of BTU, which may vary slightly from other BTU versions, so minor discrepancies might occur.
