What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer using British thermal units (International Table) per hour, commonly in heating and industrial applications.

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to joule/hour?

Converting helps translate large-scale heat transfer data into a unit suitable for precise, low-level energy measurements and long-duration calculations.

Is joule/hour suitable for all power measurements?

No, joule/hour is best suited for very low power or long-duration energy transfer contexts rather than high-power applications.
