What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour represents power as 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour and is commonly used to measure heat transfer rates in heating systems.

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to petajoule/second?

The conversion helps express typical industrial or building-scale energy measurements in extremely large power units, aiding comparisons at national or planetary scales.

Is this conversion suitable for small-scale power calculations?

No, because petajoule/second is a very large unit, converting typical MBtu/h values results in very small numbers, making it less practical for small-scale applications.
