What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

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

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to milliwatt?

Converting allows comparison between large-scale heat power units and small electrical power levels used in devices like sensors and amplifiers.

What should I be cautious about when using this converter?

Due to large magnitude differences, conversions produce very large numbers needing precision handling and suitable unit scaling.
