What does terajoule per second measure?

It is a power unit representing an energy transfer rate of one terajoule per second, equivalent to one terawatt.

Why convert TJ/s to Btu (IT)/hour?

This conversion translates very large power values into heat transfer rates useful for HVAC equipment rating, boiler capacity, and heating system design.

Is this conversion suitable for small power values?

No, due to the large magnitude difference, it is mainly practical for very large-scale power assessments.
