What does 1 MBtu (IT)/hour represent in terms of energy?

It represents 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour and corresponds to about 293.071 watts.

In which fields is converting MBtu (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/minute useful?

It is useful in HVAC design, industrial heat measurement, physiological energy expenditure, laboratory heat ratings, and calorimetry.

Why must I be careful with unit standards when converting these units?

Because MBtu (IT)/hour and kilocalorie (th)/minute are based on different thermal unit standards and time bases, precise conversion factors are necessary for accuracy.
