What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

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

When should I use kilocalorie (IT)/second as a power unit?

Kilocalorie (IT)/second is useful for reporting heat transfer rates or thermal power especially in older engineering literature or metabolic energy studies.

Is this conversion tool suitable for all heating calculations?

The converter is ideal for contexts using International Table-based units in HVAC, industrial, laboratory, or biomedical heat transfer studies but may not fit units outside these scopes.
