Convert Btu (IT)/minute to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/minute [Btu/min] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to Btu (IT)/minute.
1 Btu/min = 0.00420274000956 cal(th)/s. To convert Btu (IT)/minute to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 0.00420274000956; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 237.940010023 Btu/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (It)/minute
Btu (IT)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (Btu) has been used historically in the United States and the UK to measure heat energy. The 'IT' designation refers to the International Table value of the Btu. The unit per minute was adopted to quantify power, which is energy transfer rate, in various engineering and thermodynamic contexts.
Current Use
Btu (IT)/minute is used in engineering, HVAC, and thermodynamics to measure heat transfer rates, especially in systems where energy flow is expressed per unit time. It is part of power conversions within the broader category of common energy and power units.
Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
