BTU to Kilojoules Calculator
British Thermal Unit (BTU) to Kilojoule (KJ) Conversion
To convert BTUs to kilojoules (kJ), use this standard conversion factor:
Conversion Formula
The relationship between BTUs and kilojoules can be expressed as:
KJ = BTU × 1.055865Where:
- KJ = Kilojoules
- BTU = British Thermal Units
Example Calculation
If you have an energy output of 100 BTU, the calculation would be:
KJ = 100 BTU × 1.055865 ≈ 105.5865 KJBritish Thermal Unit (BTU)
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in heating and cooling systems.
Kilojoule (KJ)
A kilojoule (KJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure energy in food and physical activity.
