What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer, equal to 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour.

Why use joule per minute instead of watts?

Joule per minute is used when power rates averaged on a minute basis are more convenient or intuitive, especially in smaller-scale or experimental contexts.

Can this conversion be used for both industrial and experimental purposes?

Yes, the conversion translates large-scale heat transfer rates to smaller power units useful for both industrial monitoring and experimental analysis.
