What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

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

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/hour helps represent heat flow in smaller-scale systems like heaters and appliances, facilitating comparisons across diverse heating equipment.

Are conversions between these units perfectly precise?

Conversions are close but can have slight inaccuracies due to differences in the energy basis of the units and rounding.
